March 2, 2010 I found a pair of Wood Ducks this evening at the pond along Glenfield Trail, located just off Old Tusculum Road in Greeneville. A short distance away, at the intersection of Old Tusculum Road and Highway 107, I also found a Great Horned Owl perched on an electric wire. Today's Wood Ducks just missed being winter (December-February) birds rather than spring (March-May) birds. Looking back at my Greene County records, I noticed that I found no Woodies this past winter. This is unusual, as I nearly always manage to locate at least one sometime in early to mid-December or in late February. Apparently, the atypically cold winter drove them out of the area this past season.
