Shelby Co. TN
 
Yesterday, among the thousands of scaup at TVA Lake, I found and  
photographed a female Lesser Scaup with a thin tracking antenna sticking up 
from  her 
back. The bird is part of the tagging efforts by LSU and Missouri at  pool 
#19 on the Mississippi River. They are still interested in reports of the  
birds with the colored bill saddles, as they are still trying to determine  
the cause or causes for this species steady decline in numbers. 
Unfortunately,  the battery of the tracking unit on the bird found yesterday 
went dead 
last  fall.
