This morning between 07:30 and 10:00 HRS Larry McDaniel, Rack Cross, and Rick
Knight observed a single adult LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL at Musick's Lakeside

making long streaks following the main lake channel from Washington County, VA
to
Sullivan Co., TN continuing each lap out of our sight. A pair of Laughing

heads and out of sight.
