Terry and anyone else interested, The location of "Mud Lake" (this location has no name on the DeLorme) can be found by going to the "Topozone.com" website, and then by going to "Get A Map-Decimal Degrees" and entering the following coordinates: 36.2396 Lat. and -89.5231 Long. This corresponds to page 47 of the TN Atlas & Gazetteer. Mud Lake is a transient body of water that will eventually dry up, but right now it is a sizable body of water. It is just north of Hwy 79 on the "Tiptonville Obion Levee Rd". Unless you're lucky and the birds are sitting out in the open when you get there (which I haven't been yet) it may take some persistence to wait for them to fly up out of the flooded wheat where they stay a lot. They do seem to trade around a lot though. There are still a large number of ducks in the vicinity to go through, with the gorgeous Ruddies putting on quite a show at times. Good luck, Mike Todd McKenzie, TN Carroll Co. mikectodd@xxxxxx =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to sign your messages with first and last name, city (town) and state abbreviation. ----------------------------------------------------- To post to this mailing list, simply send email to: tn-bird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to: tn-bird-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Topographical Maps located at http://topozone.com/find.asp * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the Tennessee Ornithological Society web site at http://www.tnbirds.org * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TN-Bird Net Owner: Wallace Coffey, Bristol, TN jwcoffey@xxxxxxxxxx (423) 764-3958 =========================================================
