Ginger Goolsby Morristown, Hamblen County Thanksgiving Day My kids went to in-laws today, so I went birding! I drove to Norris and the Surf Scoter and White-winged Scoter were still just above the weir dam. I watched them preen and the white patch was very visible on one bird. They were accompanied by a couple of Ruddy Ducks and two Ring-necked Ducks and some Mallards for good measure. However, all of the ducks became very nervous when a very streaked immature Bald Eagle soared over the river for a few minutes. I walked the Songbird Trail and found 22 other species - none of which were surprises - only birds that can be expected to be found there at this time of the year. Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving.
