Pace Point area

TN-Birders:

Jeff and I didn't have any luck today with Loons, largely I hope because
the wind and wave action was atrocious. We didn't stay to see the
afternoon round-up, as it was a pretty futile gesture. We did see 60 or
so loons spread out along the TN River side, down to the Granny's Resort
area south of the Point. Hopefully calmer conditions will allow the
'goodies' to be found again, and hopefully someone will get some good
photos of the Yellow-bill yet. The adult California Gull on Pace Point
was a good consolation prize, and Don Manning got to get there in time
to see it as a lifer. It left the Point once and disappeared for awhile,
but came back in later in the afternoon.

A group of 350+ American White Pelicans was a very impressive sight out
from Lick Creek, the most either of us had ever seen in this area.
Common Mergansers are still in the large group of ducks behind the
maintenance sheds.

Hopefully the weather will improve for the weekend, as I'm sure a few
people are eyeing the area.

Good birding!!
