East Tennessee, Grainger County (east of Knoxville), Cherokee Lake above
Cherokee Dam
 
Mike Nelson and I arrived about 4:30 p.m. at the Grainger County site
where Dean Edwards reported the Western Grebe and Red-throated Loons and
we quickly located the WESTERN GREBE in a small group of HORNED GREBES
and RING-BILLED GULLS. The wind was blowing up the lake from the dam
(easterly) and moving all the birds east, away from the dam.
We then scanned up the lake to the east and found two very distant
RED-THROATED LOONs and a couple of COMMON LOONS.
By about 5:15 no birds were visible on the water, except a lone
Ring-billed Gull that seemed to be staying in the same location.
 
We also found the following:
Pied-billed Grebe
Mallard
Northern Shoveler
Red-breasted Mergansers
Killdeer
Mourning Dove
Ruby-crowned Kinglet
White-throated Sparrow
