Murfree Spring Wetland
Rutherford Co.
3/15/12

The original pair of Blue-winged Teal appear to have set up semi-permanent 
residence at the wetland, but I haven't seen the other five males in a couple 
weeks. It'll be interesting to see how long the pair sticks around. The Wood 
Ducks were unusually active today, with many pairs flying back and forth 
between different sections of the marsh. Perhaps this is a time-of-day thing? I 
don't typically get out there in the evening like I did today.

The only other observation of note was a Eurasian Collared-Dove flyover. Swamp 
Sparrows and Ruby-crowned Kinglets are still easy to find. No warblers yet.
