Musick's Campground
S. Holston Lake, Sullivan Co.
Wallace Coffey has already mentioned the 4
Am. White Pelicans that we observed today.
also present:
Blue-wg. Teal - 20
Bufflehead - 2
Red-br. Merganser - 48
Com. Loon - 26 (breeding plumage)
Pied-billed Grebe - 12
Horned Grebe - 2 (1 in breeding plumage)
Dbl-cr. Cormorant - 17
Bald Eagle - 1 im.
Am. Coot - 10
Bonaparte's Gull - 220 (most in breeding plumage)
Ring-billed Gull - 120
We watched the eagle make repeated swoops
at the small flock of coots, which would
panic-dive as it neared. The eagle seemed to
ignore a slightly larger flock of mergansers just
a few yards from the coots. Maybe coots taste
better or, more likely, are easier to catch.
