["Wallace Coffey" <jwcoffey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Early this afternoon (10/12) five SNOW GEESE were in the mouth of the Spring 
Creek Embayment of South Holston Lake just upstream from Musick's Campground.
The birds were initially in Washington Co., Va. but eventually flew down the 
lake into Sullivan Co., TN and did not return.  

Using a scope, the grin-patches were evident on each bird.  Some 200 Canada 
Geese were on shore nearby but the Snow Geese stayed to themselves.

My wife, Carolyn, was birding with me.

Also in the Virginia waters were two Osprey, juvenile Bald Eagle and four 
Double-crested Cormorants.  A single Osprey was found at Middlebrook Lake, 
Bristol, TN.

Let's go birding.....
