Chris Myers and I were at the Dam at approximately 2:30 - 3:00 on the picnic
area side and had views of the 5 Long-tailed Ducks the whole time. They were
sometimes hard to see due to the foggy mist, but we did find them, but only
Mallards duckwise, lots of gulls.

I waited too long to get out today. The mist had set in making it difficult
to see anything. There were still large rafts of birds on the water out
from the dam but most were indistinguishable. There were many gulls below
the dam, mostly Ring-Bills with a few Bonaparte¹s Gulls. I did see an adult
Bald Eagle in the trees along the tailrace on the Jefferson County side
(Poor photo attached).
I also scouted the Grainger County side. There was nothing to be seen at
the boat launch adjacent to the dam. The water was very smooth, but no
birds to be seen. Grainger County Park had a few Ring-billed Guls, but
nothing else. Maybe the weather will be better tomorrow,
