Pickwick Dam
Hardin, Co. TN

Saturday mourning a 2-1/2 hour vigil at the dam netted good looks at the 
Thayer's for a total of 10 minutes. All the gates are closed so there is little 
for the gulls below the dam. There were about 100 Ring-billed and Herring Gulls 
feeding below the dam and about 200 roosting above the dam. There were a few 
more ducks above the dam and about 9 or 10 Common Loons.

The wet hole at Savannah held about 40 Ring-billed Gulls and 4 variously aged 
Herrings, again I had no Bonaparte's all week end long.

The ducks in this hole were another story with 243 REDHEADS (what a wonderful 
collection of birds) among 13 other species of waterfowl.



Good Birding!!!
