Location: TN 2 Mem,TVA PONDS Observation date: 11/26/07,1210-1245pm Notes: Quick lunch time look at the TVA ponds. Unable to count Scaup and Ring necks as they were in great numbers coming and going as with the Gadwall into and out of McKellar Lake next door. Gadwall at least landed separate from the main raft of birds so as to count. 7 Scaup in the main raft drew attention as they stood out from the others. Greater Scaup Size difference and head shape next to the other birds gave them away along with being a lot brighter white on thier sides. Cold and breezy.
