David Thometz and Bryan Stevens did some birding in and around Elizabethton, Carter Co., TN, this afternoon (March 6). We watched a soar Red-tailed Hawk at Sycamore Shoals State Park in Elizabethton. At Wilbur Lake, Buffleheads are still present. From the overlook at Watauga Lake we saw 2 Red-breasted Mergansers (both drakes), seven Ring-necked Ducks and 300+ Ring-billed Gulls. At Rasar Farm/Watauga River in Elizabethton, TN, we saw a mixed flock of 150+ Red-winged Blackbirds and Common Grackles. A few Buffleheads are also scattered on the river.
