A SOOTY TERN was found by Dan Jacobson at 12:30 EST above Nickajack Dam in
Marion co. The bird was relocated at 2:30 was still being seen as I left it
around 2:50. Take the New Hope exit off I-24 (about 12 miles north of
Chattanooga) and head up river (right turn if you are coming down from the
north and a left from the south) proceed to the first right turn below the
dam (3 or 4 miles) over the railroad tracks, you will see the dam. Proceed
to the parking lot on your right, right above the dam. The tern was among
several Common Terns flying among the rockpilings and bouys. You need and
scope and spend some time scanning. This bird will most likely be gone
tomorrow!! It is the third state record and first since
1934!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My apologies to the local RBA people in Chattanooga, my computer is messed
up and I can send this locally!!!!
