TN birders,
 
Left the Sabine's gull yesterday about 12:45pm Eastern.  Because of my  
initial misinterpretation of Kevin Breault's excellent instructions, I walked 
to  
the fartherest point of land beyond the last barricade, and scoped the channel  
that had a few sandbars.  Ended up with 52 species.  When I came back  to the 
dam area, the bird was putting on quite a show with close views.   However, 
when I started my walk, Honker Bay was empty.  Two  interesting sidelights:  
when I was on the point, a group of several  carolina chickadees came by 
working 
the shore area.  One was a partial  albino with a brown cap and brown bib, 
otherwise, all white.  Head  appearance was like a flashback from my 
gray-headed 
checkadee backpack trip  several years ago.  The other was perched on the 
osprey platform by the  Cumberland River bridge in the form of an adult 
peregrine 
falcon.  Besides,  I needed the walk to the point for exercise.
 
Thank you Kevin for the great instructions, and to others for posting  
current sightings.
