[Bristol-Birds] S. Holston Lake/Saturday

Reece Jamerson, Bryan Stevens and David Thometz took an early evening trip on 
Saturday, April 22, to Musick's Campground on S. Holston Lake in Sullivan 
Co., TN. 

We saw all the terns (Caspian, Common and Forster's) reported earlier by Rick 
Knight. Their numbers seemed to have increased. We had five Caspian Terns and 
one each of Forsters and Common. But we also saw 2 or 3 small Sterna terns 
flying around the mouth of Spring Bay while we also had the confirmed Forster's 
and Common in sight. 

At Musick's we also had an Osprey, Eastern Kingbird, Green Heron and 
Blue-winged Teal (1 drake) as well as the 10 Common Loons (also observed by 
Rick 
Knight). We didn't find any of the grebes, however.

On the way to Musick's, we found a Solitary Sandpiper at the pond on the left 
on the road entering Observation Knob Campground.
