7:40-11:15
With the plethora of White-winged Scoter sightings in eastern Tennesse
I headed out to J. Percy Priest Lake to see what was there.
At Anderson Rd. Rec. Area I had a group of 10 WHITE WINGED SCOTERs that
were close enough to get distant photos and 6 COMMON GOLDENEYEs. About
half of the scoters were adult males. Later in the day on my second
visit to the area there were 6 COMMON MERGANSERs, including 2 males,
there.
I later drove up to Seven Points Rec Area for a view of the lake from
the opposite end. There I found another 12 WHITE-WINGED SCOTERs and
10 COMMON MERGANSERs.
Also seen during the morning were Nashville birders Phillip Casteel,
Mike Smith, Richard Connors, and Jan Shaw who were out in 2 separate
parties, enjoying the birds on the lake as well.
