I spent a short time birding with the family at Woods Reservoir (Franklin 
County) on Saturday, February 8. I did NOT see any scoters, although that is 
what I really wanted, but we still had some nice birds. Below is the eBird 
report.

Also, on the way into Tullahoma (Coffee County) on Sunday, I was surprised to 
see a Bald Eagle perched in a tree near the highway. It was on the outskirts of 
town (west side) in Cumberland Springs.
