Notes:     Heard about these birds being seen down at TVA lakes so i made
the trip in at lunch time. After ten minutes of scaning the lake I thought I
was going to be out of luck, but then there they were. At three-hundred
yards thier "wet" Gray-white coloring blends in well with the rippling
water. Bit of a breeze today also. Heavy machinery still chugging along to
the west side of the main body of water.
