Norris Dam Songbird Trail Sunday November 23, Anderson County, TN, 11:30 a.m. - 
3:15 pm.
I too can report that the Surf Scoter and White-Winged Scoter were at the weir 
dam yesterday. 
I walked the whole loop and found a new species for me there... PURPLE FINCH.  
I first spotted one high in a tree near several goldfinches.  She then flew 
down and when I relocated her beside a small stream there were two of them.  I 
suspect that one was a female and the other an immature because the one fed the 
other one and females and immatures look alike.  Other highlights were 2 WINTER 
WRENS and my FOS HERMIT THRUSH.  I was hoping for some of the Pine Siskins the 
Trently brother had last weekend but either they had moved on or I don't know 
how to find Pine Siskins.

Mallard     24
Ring-necked Duck     2
Surf Scoter     1
White-winged Scoter     1
