TN-birders,

As the state bird count compiler, I have already made a list of the highest 
total for most of the species we see here in Tennessee. By this I mean, I 
searched for the highest total for a species (say, American Robin) seen in a 
dedicated survey (or bird count, or a day of birding in a restricted area). I 
did this so I could relay that information to the general public when I do the 
count summaries, be it the Spring, Fall or Christmas bird counts. 

So.....I would like to hear what the highest total for Chickamauga Lake was 
today. So far, from what I have read on TN-bird, it was approximately 100. My 
previous high total for WW Scoter was 28, in 1981! This was also Chickamauga 
Lake! Must be something in the water!

Please post what you folks down there come up with for a total. I will update 
my ever-changing list!

Thanks and great birding,
