[TN-Bird] Pelicans at Dutch Bottoms

At about 5:30 today, we observed 6 American White Pelicans in a cove at Dutch 
Bottoms  in Cocke County.  The location was between Walters Bridge and Dutch 
Bottoms Church on Highway 25E.  We also saw 12 Loons, presumably Common, at 
some distance in the river near Taylors Bend.  40 or so sandpipers didn't light 
close enough for definite identification.  We happened to be passing through 
and didn't have high-powered optics.
An Osprey is building a new nest atop one of the silos.  

Vultures Wanted:  A dead horse is lying below the road into the Rankin WMA, 
just past the railroad crossing.  The stench is overpowering - where are the 
buzzards when you need them?
