TVA and Robco Lakes
Shelby Co. TN
Wapanocca NWR - AR
 
 
At TVA Lake, a Black Scoter showed up among the still high  numbers of 
ducks present. Lucy the pale Lesser Scaup is still in the  mix.
 
At Robco Lake, the huge number of ducks has dwindled to 1/10  of its 
previous size, while the Red-necked Grebe frequently tested its  flight power 
and 
the secondaries are looking good. It has been joined by a  single Common 
Loon and multiple Horned and Pied-billed Grebes.
 
At Wapanocca NWR in Crittenden Co, AR, it took 2 trips to the  lake and a 
long look at a sleeping duck to finally make it into a  female White-winged 
Scoter. A Sharp-shinned Hawk worked the tangles at the  parking lot, driving 
the sparrows into a frenzy. Vesper and Chipping were seen  in good numbers 
feeding along the roads.

What is this feathered thing  that  lifts my heart to the  heavens.
