[TN-Bird] White-winged Scoters at Pickwick-Bruton Branch

Pickwick Dam
Bruton Branch Recreational Area
Hardin County
I stopped by Bruton Branch Recreational Area and Pickwick Dam earlier today.? 
At the dam, Ring-billed Gulls ruled with at least 1000 present.? There were 
also about 25 Herrings present, but I saw none that looked unusual or 
intriguing.? Present at Bruton Branch Recreational Area were 6 Common Loons in 
breeding plumage (some near to shore), several coots, 6 Mallard (may be 
domestic stock) and three female plumaged White-winged Scoters.? I tried to get 
some photos of the scoters, but as soon as I got the scope set up, the rains 
began to fall in sheets.? This is my 250th species in Hardin County.
