Tipton Co. Runabout
 
While looking at the sleeping Long-tailed Duck this morning on TVA Lake, in  
floated a Black Scoter. One Surf Scoter was there for a while but a Bald Eagle 
 got everything up and it did not set back down.
 
On the Mississippi River from Mud Island, I saw another Common Loon, 2  
Lesser Scaup, a single Ruddy and 550 Ring-billed Gulls plus 2 immature  Herring.
 
I made a long run up the river and circled through Tipton Co, and had 9  
Loggerhead Shrikes (looking for a biggie), at Ballard Slough there was another  
200 Ring-bills and 65 American White Pelicans. Coming back to the house on  
Highway 14 just north of 179, I saw 4 hawks perched around a field where 4  
tractors were bush hogging ditches and cotton stubble. They were playing tag  
with 
scurrying Cotton Rats. In the top of one small tree sat a light morph  
ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK. Pretty poor photos of the distant bird but in the late  
afternoon 
light in flight it was a beauty.
