I birded the Booker T. Washington S.P. and Webb Road area from 8:30 to 12:30ish 
today driving back and forth.  The weather was off and on, but the fog lifted 
eventually and I got good looks at the Red- necked Grebe, Western Grebe, and 
Red- breasted Merganser.  There were a ton of Horned Grebes around as well.  
Right before I left to go up to Hiwassee I saw a Red- throated Loon off of 
theBooker T fishing dock. It was a good morning even though it was cold and off 
and on rainy.  Thanks to Tim Jeffers for the directions to Webb road.

Hiwassee observation deck had a few ducks, and around 750 Sandhill Cranes. 
There were about a dozen swallows flying over the water.  I believe they were 
Tree Swallows, but they were a little to far out to make a positive ID.
