We found one juvenile Greater White Fronted Goose with a fairly large group 
 of Canada Geese this afternoon.  The entire group appeared "wild", as they 
 started moving away as soon as I started trying to get a photo (posted on 
TN  Birding Facebook page).
 
We drove all around through from Maryville to Louisville, Friendsville and  
back to Loudon, checking for Snowy Owls in all the open fields (nothing 
seen at  the airport).  We did pick up a Hermit thrush at Ish Landing, several 
large  floats of Ring-Billed Gulls, lots of Bonapartes and a couple of 
Herring  Gulls.  One adult Bald Eagle at Scenic Point.
 
Not many ducks, but did see Redheads and Gadwall, along with  Mallards.
