[TN-Bird] 300+ Horned grebes (Franklin Co, TN)

Spent the morning at Woods Reservoir looking for lesser black-backed gull and 
enjoying the large numbers of common loons and horned grebes.  I counted 273 
horned grebes from one spot on the dam and they were everywhere, so 300 is 
probably conservative.  Never identified a lesser black-backed gull but ran 
into Ruth Luckado and we gave it our best shot.  I did get a nice close look at 
a pair of greater scaup (state bird) near some lesser scaup and ring-necked 
ducks for comparison.

(Also think I saw a house wren in a brushy area but it seems too late[?].)
