On Sunday, January 16th, Marilyn Burgess and I observed 3 Rusty Blackbirds
together at the Duck River Unit of the TN NWR in Humphreys County (2 males, 1
female). A large flock of White Pelicans was offshore at the treatment plant.
Also noted among a flock of Canada Geese was a large number of Greater
White-fronted Geese, and containing several blue morph Snow Geese and 2 Ross's
Geese.
Also observed the same day at nearby Old Johnsonville State Historic Area in
Humphreys County was a Greater Black-backed Gull, remaining aloof from a small
group of ring-bills. This bird was seen 2 weeks ago at the same place and first
thought to be a Lesser, but better looks and lighting this time showed the
black
bill mark and flesh-colored legs well. Considered "rare" in the NWR.
