I did a quick survey of migrating waterbirds out from Booker T
Washington State Park on the morning of November 24.  There were a lot
of birds moving and rafting in the main channel of the Tennessee River
seen from the landing at the park.  Highlights included:
 

-          one female WHITE-WINGED SCOTER

-          24 Redhead

-          10 Red-breasted Merganser

-          30 Lesser Scaup

-          71 Horned Grebe

-          65 Common Loon

-          5 Sandhill Cranes

 

The scoter was not relocated yesterday afternoon or this morning.

 

Dan Jacobson observed a female BLACK SCOTER out from Chester Frost
County Park on November 23 and it was seen again this morning in the
same area.
