There is an adult lesser black-backed gull in with a flock of about 400
gulls (mostly ring-billed) at Ish Creek Embayment at Scenic Point
Subdivision near Louisville, Blount County. The bird has solid very dark
gray wings, yellow legs and feet and a yellow bill with a red spot. It
is noticeably larger than the ring-billeds and once perched up above
them on a stump.
You can see the flock of gulls from Old Lowe's Ferry Road (where you can
park) before you get to the entrance gate into Scenic Point Subdivision.
With the water lowered there is an old foundation now above the water
out beyond the osprey platform and that is where the gulls have been for
the past few days.
They gulls usually leave all together every day about 5 PM. I suspect
they fly over to the main channel and roost with other gulls maybe in
the Concord Park area
