Jeff Wilson called earlier today and said that Mike Todd had found a 
Gull-billed Tern in Dyer County this morning.  This bird was seen at the jct. 
of Hwy. 103 and the Great River Road (Hwy. 181).  This is the first known 
occurrence of this coastal species in the Volunteer state!
I talked to Jeff at 3 pm and he was in the area with Mike but that bird had 
disappeared before Jeff got there from Memphis.  They were searching fo the 
bird this afternoon.  Jeff did have 3 Whimbrels near the jct. of Hwy. 103 and 
the Great River Road while searching for the tern.  Hopefully this great bird 
can be relocated.  Anyone interested in the latest on their search can reach 
Jeff on his cell phone @ 901-487-8521.

Good birding,
