Thanks to Chris for getting the word out about the LBB-Gull (had to go straight
to work, so I didn't have much time). I just wanted to follow-up by saying
that I also found 23 Common Goldeneyes on Drakes Creek (seen mainly from the
first pull-off on Sanders Ferry Rd as you head south from Hwy 31). This is a
very reliable spot for them for anyone who is interested - I've seen at least 3
or 4 every time I've checked since early December. There were also large
numbers of Buffleheads and Hooded Mergansers, as well as several loose flocks
of Bonaparte's and Ring-billed Gulls. A single first-cycle Herring rounded out
the gull species.
Unfortunately, I missed the Canvasbacks that were previously reported.

Mike Smith just emailed me (with pictures) that he refound the 1st cycle Lesser
Black-backed Gull on Old Hickory Lake at Mallard Point Park in Hendersonville
(Sumner Co.) this morning.
