5March 2015 O'Neal Lake, Hatchie NWR, Haywood Co TN Quick visit to Hatchie NWR yesterday in 4-6 inches of snow and temps dropping quickly to single digits. Most waterfowl either leaving or dispersing locally to newly flooded areas. Highlights included 130 White-fronted Geese, they've been around about 2 weeks in numbers ranging from 30 to 85, this is high number for me so far. Also, 2 Tree Swallows braving the cold and actively foraging over the lake. My first of year for them here. No Eurasian wigeon, my last observation was 18 Feb.
