Sorry this posting is so late. We have had some personal experience with the latest computer worm. I am confident that it has be cleaned from my system. First, thanks to the Chattanooga folks for great hospitality and a good meeting! We had every intention of joining the group going to Nickijack Lake Sunday moring, but I went right out of the parking lot instead of left. I thought we would just meet up at Shell Mound, but that didn't quite work out either. Anyway with the rain and wind we didn't find much, one late ring-billed gull and a Forster's tern. We left the dam and headed north on 27. In Dayton, just across from the county welcome center there is a park with a lake. As we drove by we noticed a female common merganser. We turned around a went back for a better look. The bird was near, but didn't seem to be associateing with the local population of mallards and muscovys. It seemed an odd place to find one and late. I checked out Robinson and it isn't late after all. Did anyone find the red-throated loon?
