This morning between 07:30 and 10:00 HRS Larry McDaniel, Rack Cross, and Rick 
Knight observed a single adult LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL at Musick's Lakeside 
Campground on S. Holston Lake in Sullivan County, Tennessee. The bird was 
making long streaks following the main lake channel from Washington County, VA 
to 
Sullivan Co., TN continuing each lap out of our sight. A pair of Laughing 
Gulls came from the Virginia side of the lake and made a one way trip over our 
heads and out of sight.

Tom McNeil and J.T. McNeil arrived just missing the gull, but catching some 
shorebird action. Highlights include:
