Hi All,
Diana and I spent the holiday on South Holston Lake enjoying the day. On
the Virginia side of the lake we observed the following shorebirds.
Short-billed dowitchers-3
Spotted Sandpipers -6
Solitary Sandpipers 5
Least Sandpipers 18
White-rumped Sandpiper-1
Lesser Yellowlegs 1
Semipalmated Plover 2
Killdeer 29
I Did see one Osprey fishing.
On the Tennessee side we only saw Killdeer- 5
Black Terns -6
And the most interesting find was one juvenile Laughing Gull.
I also saw 1 soaring Red-tailed Hawk.
God's Blessings
And Good Bird watching to you all.
