Today - Larry McDaniel, Jeremy Stout, Don Holt, and myself birded select areas 
of Washington County and Sulivan County.  At most water locations there were 
Mallards which are not included in the listing below.

morning meeting place meeting to go to Hiwassee Refuge.  They followed us over 
to this location).

After I got back to my car I stopped over at Winged-Deer Park and found the 
Ross' Goose very close and had a great look.  It was on the bank at the end of 
the paved trail leading from the Winged-Deer Park Festival Parking with Canada 
Geese.  I was about ~300 feet away at one point.  This goose made me have a 4 
goose day.  Not bad for NE Tennessee on one day.

Peregrine Falcon - Keebler Rd (checked at 9:30 & 10:30)
