Hey Wallace, Dianne Draper and I were at Musick's about an hour after you were there. We saw the 3 Black Terns, plus a Caspian Tern (both TN & VA). Also, there were a total of 4 Great Egrets, 6 Black-crowned Night-Herons, a Green Heron, 2 Wood Ducks, and a Spotted Sandpiper (all TN). You must have been chumming !-) All we had to do was pull up a chair for what I like to call the Evening Show at Musick's.
