Boone Lake, Sullivan Co. portion
Red-necked Grebe - 144
On previous visits they were scattered in small flocks all over
the lake, but, today they had coalesced into 2 large flocks on
the South Holston River arm of the lake. None were near the dam.
This is the largest number of them that I have ever seen anywhere,
including Alaska where they are a common breeding bird.
Little else was on the lake. Not a single duck or loon.
Only a handfull of Pied-billed & Horned Grebes.
Bonaparte's Gull - 10 - first I have seen there this year.
Ring-billed Gull - 300 - reduced from 1200 two weeks ago.
Herring Gull - 1
Tree Swallow - 250+
Barn Swallow - 1 - my first of the year.
