I spent a couple of hours (Sun 3/17/02) this morning at the Blue Blazes
trail, Mocassin Bend, Hamilton Co. Waterfowl were the highlights. I saw 3
pair of WOOD DUCKs in the swamp. I knew it was good habitat and have been
hoping to see them there. The colors on the male were beautiful! I had 3
(2 male, 1 female)BUFFLEHEAD on the river. Less exciting, 6 pair of
Mallards in the swamp. On Thursday I had a pair of HOODED MERGANSERS in the
swamp, and on Monday I had a pair of COOTs in the river. Today the TOWHEES
were very vocal and visible.
Also present today:
Great Blue Heron
Buteo sp.
Mourning Dove
Downy Wo
Red-bellied Wo
E Phoebe
Am Crow
Blue Jay
Ca Chickadee (out in force today)

MISSING:

well or have headed north)

Also saw Henbit and Cutleaf Henbit in bloom, and my first tree snail of the
spring.
