NOTE:  The duck is being seen on private property. 
The land owner has graciously agreed to allow us to
park/view the duck from his property - please follow
the guideline listed below when attempting to view the
duck.

Mike Murdock, TWRA Robertson County Wildlife Officer,
first noticed the Whistling-Duck at the end of April. 
It disappeared, but was seen again beginning last
week.  Today, Mike guided a group of TWRA biologists,
who were in Cheatham County taking a birding refresher
course led by Dr. Fred Alsop and Scott Somershoe to
the pond near Adams, TN, where the bird was located in
the company of a Northern Shoveler.  The Shoveler flew
off in the company of 4 other Shovelers, while the
Whistling-Duck flew to a group of Canada Geese.

The farm pond is located approxiamately 8 miles north
of I-24 on State Route 256 (Exit 19).  I am returning
to the pond tomorrow morning after the Radnor
Wednesday walk, and will post exact mileage from I-24.
 9/10 of a mile from the second stop sign encountered
on State Route 256, there is a large red barn on the
right side of the road.  Park here - and do not cross
the fence between the parking area and the pond.  The
duck was on the north side of the pond, but has been
seen mainly in the small inlet nearest the road.  

If anyone would like to join me tomorrow morning, we
should be leaving Radnor Lake around 10:30 am.  My
cell phone number is 615-566-4380.
