30 March 2015: Pickett Lake, Pickett State Park, Pickett Co. It was a beautiful afternoon, 63°F, humidity 42%, mostly clear, scattered cumulus clouds, with a light breeze. Got a report of a duck and large white bird so I drove out for a look. A beautiful Great Egret was perched in a downed pine tree along the sandstone bluff line easily visible from the picnic area behind the rec. lodge near the boat dock. A few yards up stream we spotted the lone female Bufflehead. Spent about an hour at the lake. Seen: 4 Canada Goose 1 Bufflehead 1 Great Blue Heron 1 Great Egret 2 Pileated Woodpecker 2 Eastern Phoebe 5 American Crow Michael Hodge Allardt, TN =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER==================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to SIGN YOUR MESSAGE with first and last name, CITY (TOWN) and state abbreviation.
