After a delightful Sunday morning at Wood Thrush Ridge (Janet McKnight's 
place in Loudon County), about which I'm sure David Trently will be posting 
later, I stopped by Fort Loudoun Dam (Loudon County) on my way home around 2 
p.m. and was amazed to see 250-300 double-crested cormorants in the water 
below the spillway.  I've never seen such a large gathering of cormorants 
before.  Not much else on the water except for ring-billed gulls and a few 
great blue herons.  I didn't stay long and most of the cormorants had left 
before I did.
