J. Percy Priest Lake
7 Points Rec. Area
Davidson Co., TN
2017 Nov. 15
Stopped at several places around Percy Priest Lake in Davidson Co.
this Wednesday morning. At Cook Rec. Area I saw some very distant
large white blobs on the lake, but the heat shimmer made them to
indistinct for easy identification, so I quickly drove over to 7
Points Recreation Area and walked out to the boat ramp where I
found them much closer and was able to confirm my suspicion that
they were AMERICAN WHITE PELICANs. They stayed on the lake for
perhaps 30 minutes after I got to the boat ramp before taking off,
circling to gain altitude, and then flying to the south west.
In the same general direction as the pelicans I also saw a
single PACIFIC LOON on the lake.
