[Wallace Coffey <jwcoffey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

An early White-winged Scoter  was seen at South Holston Lake, Sullivan Co.,
TN from Musick's Campground late this evening (11/2).

The bird was found by Ruth Smith, Janice Martin, Rack Cross and Wallace
Coffey.  It was keeping company with a small raft of grebes and coots.

Nearby were Lesser Scaup 9, American Coot 6, Eared Grebe 7, Common Loon 2,
Ring-billed Gull 1, Pied-billed Grebe ~12, Mallards ~25 and Canada Goose ~105.

The scoter was found in the last hour before dark and was originally
determined to be in Sullivan Co., TN before moving close to shore in
Washington Co., VA. at nightfall.

It was a beautiful fall day and great birding weather.

Let's go birding....
