This is Update Number #32 made on December 7, 2002.

One Great Egret was observed at Blythe Ferry, Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge,
Meigs co. on December 5. (David Aborn)

Waterfowl are migrating through our area.  On December 4 a raft of at least
500 ducks was in the middle of the channel out from Windward Point (just
downstream from Booker T Washington St Pk).   The visibility was terrible,
but the raft was mostly made up of Lesser Scaup, Common Goldeneye,
Bufflehead and a few scattered Redheads. On December 6 most of the ducks had
moved through, but there were still a few small rafts made up of Lesser
Scaup, Black Duck, Goldeneye, and Bufflehead.  Also,several  rafts of Horned
Grebes (127 total) were present as they are migrating through our area.
