[tn-bird] Sooty Tern Carcass Found

Sunday afternoon I found the carcass of a Sooty Tern in may pasture. The 
carcass was in good shape, with little to no decomposition. The bird is 
identical to that in Sibleys. Black bill and legs, Black above, very white 
below, white face with black eyestripe, black forked tail with white outer tail 
feathers and white on the wings at the front of the shoulders. I have placed 
the bird in my freezer and will bring it to the Knoxville TOS meeting on 
Wednesday night. I will also contact Kevin Calhoon. I don't know if this is the 
Marion County bird or not. We are about 80 miles north. I had heard it was seen 
yesterday, but not today.
