Jan. 19, 2005 TVA Lake, Ensley Bottoms Shelby Co. TN A quick run by TVA Lake to check the ducks and look for bill tagged scaup, yielded an unexpected visitor. While I was sitting there scanning, a small group of gulls dropped in with one landing off to itself. The 3/4 hood, size and partial eye crescents gave the ID away, even without a scope. Usually this time of the year you get a Laughing Gull out on McKellar Lake just across the levee. I'll post a photo later. Good Birding !!! Jeff R.
