[wwg <wwg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After the BBC Sparrow Walk, I stopped by Musicks Campground. My list was
basically the usual: Horned Grebes (5), Pied-billed Grebes (2), Common
Loon (7), Great Blue Heron (1), Canada Goose (4), Mallards (11), Black
Vultures (16), Ring-billed Gulls (20+), American Crow (2), Northern
Mockingbird (1), Yellow-rumped Warblers (2), Field Sparrows (4),
American Goldfinch (6).

What may be significant is that because of the heavy rains recently, the
lake level is up significantly. According to the TVA site, the lake
level is almost 1712. I am not sure how this compares to last week, but
there were no waders or shorebirds today because a lot of the muddy
areas are under water.
