[TN-Bird] the Red-necked Grebe at Boone Lake

TN birders,

I was in Knoxville yesterday and decided to run up to Boone Lake near the 
Tri-Cities Airport to look for the Red-necked Grebe which Rick Knight found 
earlier this week (see his earlier post), and which I have been trying to get 
on my TN list.

I could not find it at the end of Lake Breeze Dr., so I tried to access the 
lake from the next road to the west which is Steadman Dr., and sure enough 
found the grebe toward the end of that road.  The grebe was actually fairly 
close to shore and was catching and eating small fish.  It may have been 
possible to see the bird from Lake Breeze with a good scope (mine was stolen 
out of my truck in Chatt. and I havent replaced it yet) but I saw it clearly 
from approx. 200 yards with my Swarovski 10x42s.

Good birding!..., and thanks Rick
