Looks like Red-necked grebes are showing up in record numbers in far NE TN.
Will be very interesting how many will show up in KY on the way north.
Funny that a few of us were just discussing were all the Red-necked grebes had
gone with all the Scoters around. I have a feeling we will not be disappointed.
Here is a forwarded email from Rick Knight in Johnson City, TN on the tnbird
list serve. To quote Poltergeist the movie " They're here!" : )

Following yesterday's passage of winter storm Titan, I made a check of two
area lakes today. What a shocker it turned out to be.
Boone Lake, Washington & Sullivan Cos., TN
RED-NECKED GREBE - - 86
Horned Grebe - 32
plus about 450 ducks of 16 species, including 1 male White-wg. Scoter
South Holston Lake, Sullivan Co., TN
RED-NECKED GREBE - - 59 (1 in breeding plumage)
Horned Grebe - 46
plus about 280 ducks of 8 species
This combined total of 145 Red-necked Grebes is nearly 10 times the previous
state high count of 15 (10 Mar 2004 on South Holston L.)
