Ducks
and other waterfowl are beginning to arrive in the region. Those enjoying a
walk on the trails at Bristol, Tennessee’s Osceola Island Recreation Area
during the mild weather in the first week of November might have spied a rather
unusual bird among some of the ducks.
The
Osceola Island is located about a mile from the base of Holston Dam and is one
of my favorite birding areas. Through the years I've observed some interesting
birds in the woods through which the trails wind, as well as in the waterways
surrounding the island. Some of the more interesting birds that have made
appearances at this location include white-winged scoter, harlequin duck,
canvasback, bald eagle, American woodcock and pileated woodpecker.
