Did a tour of some of my old haunts around Douglas and Cherokee
Lakes in East TN today (Saturday, 18 Nov 2006).  A few good
birds and one great one -- the Inca Dove at Ben Britton's
home in Hamblen Co. -- that gave me a rare 4-dove day in TN,
especially rare in East TN.

The lakes held a few Common Loons and Horned Grebes (Douglas
only) but few ducks.  Flushed a probable Dunlin at Douglas
Dam but didn't get a good look before it flew around the
corner.  Call sounded good for Dunlin.

highlights:

Green-winged Teal, 1, on a small pond near Cherokee Dam with
a few Mallards, Jefferson Co.
Lesser Scaup, 12, Douglas Dam Jefferson/Sevier Co.

Common Loon, 6-8 Douglas Dam, 2 Cherokee Dam Jefferson/Grainger Co.

Horned Grebe, 10+ Douglas Dam
Pied-billed Grebe, 20+ Douglas Dam

Black-crowned Night-Heron, a handful below both dams

Ring-billed Gull, 30 or so at Douglas, maybe 10 at Cherokee
Bonaparte's Gull, 50+ at Douglas, 6 or so at Cherokee, all the
loons seen were accompanied by Bonnies

INCA DOVE, at Ben Britton's in Hamblen Co
Eurasian Collared-Dove, 2, at the usual location on Hwy 11-E
in New Market, Jefferson Co -- specifically at the ambulance
station
(Rock Pigeon and Mourning Dove obviously make up the other
2 dove species.)

LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE, 1, Grainger Co., on Hwy 92 on a wire
over the farm fields just north of the Holston River bridge
at Cherokee Dam

American Pipit, several heard at Douglas Dam, Sevier Co.

Palm Warbler, 4-5 at the usual spot at the foot of Cherokee
Dam, Jefferson Co., all "Western"
