I had been planning to check Priest Lake for winter arrivals today anyway,
so Terry Witt's Merlin sighting in Murfreesboro yesterday was an
encouraging sign. Two females Merlins were seen today, one at Bryant Grove
section
of Long Hunter SP and one at the traditional spot (in the "Merlin tree") at
Anderson Rd. Rec. Area. This is the earliest I have seen one there, but
timing seems about right.
There was one large raft of ducks west from Anderson Rd Rec Area, mostly
Ring-necked Ducks, with some Gadwall and Horned Grebes mixed in (I was
without scope) and 20+ Com. Loons. This raft will be broken up by boat traffic
tomorrow, but nice to see a bunch of ducks on the lake.
