Several birders joined me at TVA Boone Dam Overlook in Sullivan County to check out the waterfowl. I arrived around 1:30 pm and quickly found a total of 18 Red-necked Grebes. After a short time I also found a single male Long-tailed Duck. I know, ho hum, just one...but that's all I could muster. It was a beautiful male. We also saw 32 Red-breasted Mergansers, a few Horned Grebes, and a couple of Pied-billed Grebes. I also saw one male White-winged Scoter at Warriors Path State Park, first located by Glen Eller this morning. I'll attach a long-distance photo of the Long-tailed Duck. -- Rick Phillips Kingsport, Tennessee
