2017: favorite nature moments #14




Adding a new species of bird to your Life List is a big deal if you are a birder. Locally, there's roughly 175 species you can find at different times of the year.

That's why it's a big deal when an odd one, lost one—a species that really should not be here—makes an appearance. Finding it, even with directions from other birders is an Indiana Jones kind of moment. Yet, the brant goose in early December was almost a bit too easy. There the lostling was walking around the parking lot at Pellissippi State Community College in the company of larger Canada geese. You really didn't have to leave the car but Rachael Eliot and I at least walked to find it...it really wasn't hard.
