I was going stir crazy this afternoon, it looked beautiful outside and the 
roads looked clear so I drove to the Alcoa Duck Pond in Blount County to see if 
I could find the Long-tailed Duck reported by Tom Howe.   I had more trouble 
finding the pond than the duck because when I eventually pulled into the 
parking lot there she was just sitting around on the water a few feet from 
shore.  I snapped a couple of photos from the car.  <a

On my way home I stopped by the boat launch at Concord Park in west Knox County 
and found lots of ring-billed gulls and out beyond the gulls four Red-breasted 
Mergansers, three of them adult males.
