January 29, 2006 Greene County; Jefferson County: Cherokee Lake (CL), Mossy Creek Wildlife Viewing Area (MCWVA), and other sites in the Jefferson City area; Grainger County: Cherokee Lake (CL), Greenlee Campground (GC), and nearby areas I found no loons, grebes, or ducks on Cherokee Lake. This kind of no-show seems to be a fairly typical thing on warm winter days. Nonetheless, several notables put in an appearance-- Gadwall (MCWVA); American Black Duck (2 MCWVA); Mallard (126 Jefferson County); Green-winged Teal (MCWVA); Northern Harrier (Greene County); Red-shouldered Hawk (Highway 348 in Beulah community, Greene County; an adult bird carrying what appeared to be an adult rabbit from the middle of the road to the shoulder); American Coot (MCWVA); Bonaparte's Gull (1275+--725+ Grainger County (CL), 550+ Jefferson County (CL)); Ring-billed Gull (931+--921+ Grainger County, 10 Jefferson County); Eurasian Collared-Dove (2 adjacent to West Greene High School (Greene County)); House Wren (Tusculum area, Greene County); American Pipit (4 Grainger County); Pine Warbler (Grainger County (GC)); Chipping Sparrow (3 Grainger County (GC)); Savannah Sparrow (5 Jefferson County); White-crowned Sparrow (2 Jefferson County).
