[<birds@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry this posting is so late. We have had some personal experience with
the latest computer worm.  I am confident that it has be cleaned from
my system.

First, thanks to the Chattanooga folks for great hospitality and a good
meeting! 

We had every intention of joining the group going to Nickijack Lake
Sunday moring, but I went right out of the parking lot instead of left.
 I thought we would just meet up at Shell Mound, but that didn't quite
work out either.  Anyway with the rain and wind we didn't find much,
one late ring-billed gull and a Forster's tern.  We left the dam and
headed north on 27.  In Dayton, just across from the county welcome
center there is a park with a lake.  As we drove by we noticed a female
common merganser.  We turned around a went back for a better look.  The
bird was near, but didn't seem to be associateing with the local
population of mallards and muscovys.  It seemed an odd place to find
one and late.  I checked out Robinson and it isn't late after all.

Did anyone find the red-throated loon?
