Today there was an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull
at Dutch Bottoms (along Hwy 25E, south of White Pine)
on upper Douglas Lake. It was seen sitting with several
Ring-billed Gulls & 2 imm. Herring Gulls. The best place
to view it from was the (unmarked) public lake access
across from the Dutch Bottoms Baptist Church. A scope
is ESSENTIAL.
By my recollection, this is just the second occurrence in
East Tenn. (The other at Nickajack Dam in 1993.)
Also present:
Pied-billed Grebe - 12, Dbl-cr Cormorant - 95+, Great Blue
Heron - ~100, Great Egret - 55, N. Shoveler - 12, Ring-nk.
Duck - 8, Bald Eagle - 1 im, Least Sandpiper - 22, Pectoral
Sandpiper - 35, Dunlin - 25+, Caspian Tern - 1, Tree Swallow -
600+.
