[TN-Bird] Ky Lake Little Gull - no luck today

Spent a beautiful day at Ky Lake, very unusual for Nov 21 (global warming??)
When I reached Lick Creek around 11 AM, the group of Bonaparte's gulls were all 
airborne, and frequently out of sight from the boat ramp.  After walking 
through the woods for closer views and better light, they all were perched on a 
sandbar.  It is certainly possible that the Little Gull was there and hidden in 
the scrum, but I couldn't find any first year birds despite looking for an 
hour.  There were several hundred Bonys and a handful of ringbills present.

Did not find any unusual birds all day, the ducks are just arriving with large 
rafts of scaup and ruddies present.  Not even a Canada Goose for the list!  
Lots of Common Loons and Horned Grebes to sort through, couldn't find any 
strangers although they could easily be overlooked with the number of birds on 
hand.  

Cheers
