Washington State Park and seen later in the day from Winward Pointe on Webb Road. The bird was observed this afternoon for over an hour from the Powerhouse Overlook at Chickamauga Dam (Hamilton County). It was with Ring-billed Gulls observed upriver to the east toward Chickamauga Marina. The bird was probably 400 - 500 yards above the dam. The Overlook can be accessed from Amnicola Highway just south of Hwy 153; follow the signs west to Chickamauga Dam.
