I have posted a few distant photos of one of the Mottled Ducks seen yesterday at Eagle Creek in Henry Co. These photos are pretty marginal, but show some of the ID points of Mottled pretty well. Hopefully these birds will hang around for others to enjoy, and hopefully for better photos to be obtained. They are in my Mottled Duck gallery at: http://www.pbase.com/mctodd/mottled_duck , the last 4 images are from yesterday. Double-clicking on any image will enlarge it, and then you can navigate with the 'previous' and 'next' tabs. There are shots of previous TN Mottled's in this gallery, as well as a couple of shots from their normal haunts to the south. Maybe Rita will bring a bird or two this way as well! Good Birding!!
