Greene County: Greeneville, Kinser Park area, Bridge Burners Boulevard, 
Wal-Mart-Distribution Center, etc. 

David Kirschke has already posted the shorebirds present at Bridge Burners 
Boulevard late this morning when he and I visited it. We also observed some 
waterfowl and other species there, as well as at Wal-Mart Distribtuion Center, 
although species were few at WMDC. As he indicated, weather was not in our 
favor. Winds were high, and temperatures were unpleasantly warm for April. 

Before meeting David at the boulevard, I birded for about forty-five minutes in 
the Kinser Park area and at a few other sites. 

Highlights of the day included-- 

Blue-winged Teal (29, mostly at Bridge Burners Blvd.) 
Northern Shoveler (6, Bridge Burners Blvd.) 
Ring-necked Duck (Bridge Burners Blvd.) 
Lesser Scaup (Bridge Burners Blvd.)
