[TN-Bird] G. Yellowlegs, N. Harrier, Austin Springs

Tess Cumbie, Gilbert Derouen, Reece Jamerson, H.P. Langridge and Bryan 
Stevens birded at Austin Springs, Boone Lake, Washington County, in the early 
afternoon on Tuesday, March 23.
Best finds included:
Greater Yellowlegs (1), Northern Harrier (1) and some Barn Swallows. 
Langridge had a Cliff Swallow missed by other members of the group. Other 
shorebirds 
included Wilson's Snipe and Killdeer. There were still plenty of Tree Swallows, 
Red-tailed Hawk and American Kestrel.

Later in the afternoon, at Musick's Campground, S. Holston Lake, Sullivan 
Co., we had 27 Red-breasted Mergansers, 2 Scaup sp., Double-crested Cormorant 
(1), Common Loon (1) and probably 4 Horned Grebe. We thought we might have had 
a 
Red-necked Grebe, but it was too far away and we never could ID conclusively. 
Plenty of Ring-billed Gulls.

We also had 10 Ring-necked Ducks at a farm pond on the Virginia side of the 
state line a couple of miles past the turn to go to Musick's Campground.

Finally, on his way home, Bryan Stevens had 4 Wild Turkey toms in a field 
next to Bell Cemetery in Limestone Cove in Unicoi Co.
