Yesterday (12/7/13), Andrew Theus and I birded along the Tennessee River.
From the boat ramp at Booker T. Washington State Park, we observed an adult
Little Gull flying up and down the river. It is very plausible that this
could be one of the individuals originally found by Rick Houlk on 11/25/13
in the Harrison Bay area. The bird flew nearly all the way down to
Chickamauga Dam and then circled back and flew out of site heading
northeast (towards Harrison Bay). Interestingly enough, it was not with any
Bonaparte's Gulls as was the situation on 11/25/13. After that, we checked
the Vincent Road boat ramp and the Hwy 58 pulloff at Harrison Bay (where
there were numerous Bonaparte's Gulls), but were not able to relocate it.

Good Birding!
