Musick's Campground
South Holston Lake
Sullivan County, TN

Rack Cross and I ran the table on grebes at Musick's Campground, South
Holston Lake, today (3/9)  just before dark -- four grebe species at the
same location (Eared Grebe 9, Red-necked Grebe 3, Pied-billed Grebe 14,
Horned Grebe 15).

As far as we know, the 3 Red-necked Grebes establishes a new high count for
the species in Northeast Tennessee. 

The 9 Eared Grebe equals the record high for Musick's Campground, Northeast
Tennessee and the region.

One grebe led to another, just like it always does at dark at Musick's when
they start appearing out of nowhere. 

This is the same time period in which Red-necked Grebes began to show up
over the region and the Southeast in late-winter of last year. 

Let's go birding......
