I birded TVA's Kingston Steam Plant in Roane County, Kingston, TN on December 8, 2006 from 8:32 am to 10:05 am. The water elevation in Watts Bar Lake was 736.83 feet which is low enough to expose many acres of mudflats in the river/lake. No shorebirds were seen on the flats. Waterfowl observed: 1. Canada goose- at least 38 2. American black duck- 3 3. Mallard- at least 32 4. Northern pintail- 1 5. Gadwall- 1 6. Ring-neck duck- 11 7. Common goldeneye- 4 8. Bufflehead- 2 9.
