I birded Kingston Steam Plant in Roane County, Kingston, TN on October 25, 2006 from 1:57pm to 3:40 pm. Flats were available in the first upper pond which is currently filled mostly with water, the second, middle pond, and the lower pond (the pond with the dredging boat). Large trucks were moving around the two upper ponds and the boat was dredging the lower pond causing disturbances that may have limited the number of birds seen. The birds seen are below: 1. Great blue heron- 4 2. Mallard- 1 3. American coot- 79 4. Killdeer- at least 27 5. Least sandpiper- 3 6. Dunlin- 4 7. Ring-billed gull- 10 8. Mourning dove 9. Blue jay and American crow 10. Palm warbler 11. Eastern towhee 12. Savannah sparrow 13. Song sparrow 14. Swamp sparrow 15. White-crowned sparrow 16. Eastern meadowlark 17. American goldfinch Allan Trently Norris, TN ajtcorax@xxxxxxxxxxx _________________________________________________________________ Try the next generation of search with Windows Live Search today! http://imagine-windowslive.com/minisites/searchlaunch/?locale=en-us&source=hmtagline =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to SIGN YOUR MESSAGE with first and last name, CITY (TOWN) and state abbreviation.
