Reelfoot Lake
Lake Co.
Jeff Wilson called this afternoon, with TWO Little Gulls amongst a large
number of Bonaparte's Gulls coming to roost on Reelfoot Lake. He observed
these birds from the 1st public boat launch east of the washout area. This
is in the Blue Bank area as shown on the DeLorme.
The 1st Little that Jeff picked up was a basic-plumage adult, and then
another came in, apparently a 1st-winter bird. Jeff is staying up there
overnight, and we'll be looking for the birds again tomorrow.
On another note, I was part of a joint NTOS/Clarksville Audubon field trip
to the KY Lake area. In case anyone is going that way tomorrow, among the
highlights was an immature Red-throated Loon early in the day out from Rocky
Point (Big Sandy Unit, TNWR in Henry Co.) and a very silvery-naped Pacific
Loon late in afternoon from Trailer Rd. (Henry Co.). The Red-throated played
hide-and-seek, but the Pacific was cooperative, if distant. Lots of loons to
go through again. Also, the American Golden-Plover lingers at Lick Creek
(Benton Co.)
Good Birding!!
