Chatters,
 
I have now loaded 16 photos taken of the large dark bird that was  dropped in 
on us by Hurricane Katrina. The bird appeared to eight of us late in  the 
afternoon on August 30, and was seen again by four of us the following  morning.
 
The bird was immediately questioned by Jon Dunn who had joined us at this  
marvelous and diverse fallout of birds at Pickwick Lake on the  Tennessee River 
in Hardin Co. Jon has settled on this being a Skua rather than  the more 
expected Pomarine Jaeger, pending these final photos.
 
Comments are welcomed, they can be sent to me directly or posted on the web  
site. I will collect them and post them in total after a reasonable comment  
period.
