Saw the post about the cinnamon teal at 6:30 PM and quickly ran down
there. It is still present at the left most pond, which is the largest of
the 3. One can park at the ball field parking lot and walk on a nice paved
trail to the ponds. There is also some room to park at the entrance to
Countrywood Estates across the road from the ponds. If a lot of people
parked there it may draw unwanted attention.
There are an abundence of white pelicans at Duck River (TN NWR) in Pool 6
just a short ways down the road after entering the Refuge. They are fairly
close to the road and pretty tolerant of people. They are flying low over
the guard rails between Pools 6 and 7 and 7 and the lake on the outer
levee. If you have wanted to see them close (under 100 yards) and get
pictures with even an average camera then this is your chance. Best
viewing seems to be between sunrise and 8 to 9 AM depending on if/when
fisherman put boats in the pool.
