Just as the rain was ending around noon I stopped by Snow Bunting peninsula 
near Old Hickory Lake Dam in Davidson County just north of Nashville. 
I was able to get photo's of the lone American Avocet along with five Willet's 
(western sub-species to Chris Sloan's earlier comment), and my first TN record 
Marbled Godwit. Other highlights were several Spotted Sandpipers, a single 
Common Loon, a Caspian Tern, a Laughing Gull, several Ring-billed's, and a lone 
Herring Gull. The link shows photo's of a number of the birds. A good stop 
today. Thanks to those who have posted before about these birds!
