Another first for me at Pickwick Lake, I had an adult white-winged gull above
the dam that gave me a merry chase. I got pretty good looks but at great
distances as the large bird wrestled Herring Gulls for loon left overs. Then
found it resting on a mooring near dam. The default species should be Glaucous
but I did not see enough of wing tips to rule out a really super but rare
possibility. I did see some puzzling details but I've never seen an adult
Glaucous in TN. I have some distant shots to look at when I get home.
Anyone in the area should check for this bird.
A total of 26 Common Loon, a 2nd year Lesser Black-backed Gull and 4
Red-breasted Merganser were only other birds of interest before the rain.
