Five Horned Grebes were back at the Floating Mill Recreation Area, Center Hill Lake, DeKalb Co., TN, yesterday, the first date this fall on which I have observed this regular winter resident of that site. Arrival dates for Horned Grebes at this site for the previous seven years follow: 2003--Oct 10 2002--Oct 18 2001--Oct 8 2000--Oct 11 1999--Oct 14 1998--Oct 14 1997--Oct 22 I would be interested to know arrival dates of this species at other Tennessee (and Kentucky) sites for this season, any previous seasons, and all future seasons for the next decade or so.
