Got distracted by picking up our mailbox out of the yard where someone
slid down the hill and took it out overnight so I missed much of the
morning gull flight.  But before the distractions, I had 6 HERRING
GULLs mixed in with the Ring-billeds.  That's a pretty good number for
Knox Co.  One group of 4 (3 1st winter and 1 adult or 3rd winter)
then 2 singles (both 1st winter).  Thursday morning the Ring-billed
numbers were close to 1000.

If anyone is interested in watching for the gulls, the Food City
parking lot on Middlebrook Pike would be a good vantage point.  You
should be there before 8AM.  A scope would be good.  Watch for them
to fly south to north, rather high up.
