Over the week-end Barb and I paddled some rivers on the Cumberland Plateau on trips she was leading for the Tennessee Scenic River Association's Whitewater Rendezvous. While at the Jett river access point/bridge on Clear Creek, Morgan Co., we heard a Swainson's Warbler singing; this was the earliest we have had one in the Obed Wild and Scenic River system. Near the confluence of the Emory and Obed rivers we encountered a flock of ten Northern Shovelers, an infrequently sighted species in the Obed Wild and Scenic River.
