Dave Thometz and Bryan Stevens observed a single Caspian Tern and two Great 
Blue Herons at Musick's Campground, Sullivan County, TN, on South Holston Lake 
at about 6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 24.
At the nearby TVA Boat Access Area we observed a Pied-billed Grebe, about a 
half dozen Cedar Waxwings, a half dozen Eastern Kingbirds and a Belted 
Kingfisher.

At the Spring Creek section of the lake in Virginia, we had two Killdeer and 
a large flock of Red-winged Blackbirds, Common Grackles and European 
Starlings. We also had a "peep" being chased by a Common Grackle. I don't know 
what 
caused the hostilities, but the small shorebird, dwarfed by the grackle, fled 
the 
area and we didn't relocate it.
