Sorry about the earlier message(s).  I just screwed up.  I am using a laptop 
which I am not used to and I'm using it with it sitting on my lap.   Here is 
how the message should have been the first time.

Sullivan County, TN 
 
Rooty Branch Marsh Area 
 
Great Blue Heron - 1 
Wood Duck - 2 (both male) 
 
From the Top of South Holston Dam 
 
Pied-billed Grebe - 1 
Canada Geese - 7 (on nearest barren island) 
Gulls (most likely Ring-billed - on far barren island) ~50 
 
Upper Weir Area Parking Area (Dam Side) 
 
Bufflehead - 10 
Pine Warbler - 1 
 
Weir Dam (Oceola Island Parking) 
 
Greater Scaup - 1 
Bufflehead - 28 
 
Musick's Campground (6:30pm-7:30pm) 
* denotes Washington County, VA) 
 
White-winged Scoter - 1 
 
(White-winged Scoter was seen briefly, but was not found again after a boat 
sped 
through) 
 
*Red-breasted Merganser - 15 (in Sullivan County too) 
 
(Red-breasted Mergansers went into Washington County, VA when the same boat 
came 
through that spooked the White-winged Scoter) 
 
*Horned Grebes - 8 (4 in Sullivan County, TN at one time) 
 
(1 Horned Grebe was in full breeding plumage) 
 
*Common Loons - 2 
 
(both Common Loons were in partial breeding plumage) 
 
Bonaparte's Gulls - 8 
Ring-billed Gulls - ~200+ 
 
I briefly stopped at Washington County Park boat launch in Washington County, 
Virginia just after sunset and spotted 3 grebes out pretty far.  They WERE NOT 
Pied-billed Grebes.  They were either Horned Grebes or Eared Grebes, but were 
too far away and too dark to make an positive ID.  I was going on silhouette ID 
to make them NOT Pied-billed.  This is a  location Tom McNeil and I found Eared 
Grebes at the end of January, so it is worth checking when one is out at 
Musick's.
