Hobby (Theme # 149)

A hobby our whole family enjoys is Birding.
On this late January day we are looking for water birds that spend the winter on Wilbur Lake in Carter County, Tennessee. The usual suspects include Bufflehead, Mallards, and Canada Geese.
We have been lucky enough on occasion to see Black Ducks, Redheads, and three species of Scoter.

  1. Cool--any recollection of what you saw that day?

  2. In this spot we saw Mallards, Bufflehead, Redheads, and Ring-necked Ducks. In the general area we added Wild Turkeys, a Ring-billed Gull, Great Blue Herons, a Phoebe, Crows, a Mourning Dove and a lone male House Finch. It was cold on Amy's birthday so maybe the birds were smarter then we were and found shelter and that's why we didn't see many.
