While birding near the mouth of Josiah Creek, South Holston Lake, Sullivan Co., 
today (10/19) I had the first COMMON LOON of the winter.
At PowerLine Farm on Pemberton Rd. in Holston Valley, Sullivan Co., I had the 
first WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS 3 of the fall.   One was singing.

Also at PowerLine Farm was a MERLIN, our second record this fall.  Don Holt had 
one in September at Musick's Campground, Sullivan Co., South Holston Lake.

Six Eared Grebes were at Musick's Campground this morning.

Other notable birds for today included an immature Bald Eagle also at the mouth 
of Josiah Creek; three Herring Gulls (2 adults, 1 immature) near South Holston 
Dam;  Double-crested Cormorants 10, Common Coot 75 (25 on island across from 
dam and ~50 at Musick's Campground) and Ring-billed Gull (2) on the island 
across from the dam.

Let's go birding.....
