["jimimoore@xxxxxxxx" <jimimoore@xxxxxxxx>]

I  birded Eagle Bend Fish Hatchery today from apx. 12:45- 1:30. Most of the 
time was spend combing through apx. 500 Ring-Billed Gulls. for anything 
unusual. This was a high count of gulls at this location for me. Did find  11 
First Year Herring Gulls. I briefly spotted a large, pale gull, but it eluded 
me as one of the staff drove by and they all flew, many dispersing towards the 
Clinch River. 
Other good looks were had at RedHead Ducks (2)  
22 Bufflehead         4  Snipe     2 Ring-Necked Ducks     
\EasternPhoebe       Strange to only see 2 Coots there  Few Mallards
4 Killdeer    Only 6 Canada Geese (They are starting to pair off)
9 Great Blues Herons on nests (at least 9 nests) Did not do accurate count, as 
ran out of time and did not drive closer to the area.
Eagle Bend Hatchery/ ponds is located in Clinton, Tn  along the Clinch River/  
Anderson County.
