McKellar and TVA Lake
Shelby Co. TN

Over the last month I've looked over McKellar Lake from the few viewing areas 
available, time and time again but never found the Mottled Duck's hiding 
place. Finally on Saturday, I found over 300 Mallards taking a siesta in the 
rain 
on a sand bank. In the middle of the flock was the Mottled Duck. 

I checked TVA Lake over a dozen times on Saturday and Sunday but did not see 
the Mottled again until 4:45 on Sunday afternoon. It had pretty much drizzled 
all weekend long but the Mottled Duck is still hanging around and is as 
unpredictable as ever. 


Good Birding!!!
