["Charles P. Nicholson" <cpnichol@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I birded Kingston Steam Plant, Roane County, late in the afternoon of
Saturday, 2 Sept 2006.  Low numbers of shorebirds, but the sanderlings,
turnstones, and buff-breasteds were nice.  My list:
 

Canada Goose - ~100

Wood Duck - 10

Mallard

Double-crested Cormorant - 5

Great Blue Heron - 4

Great Egret - 2

Little Blue Heron - 2 imm

Black-crowned Night-Heron - 1 imm

Turkey Vulture - 5

Osprey - 1

Killdeer - 35

Lesser Yellowlegs - 1

Spotted Sandpiper - 1

Ruddy Turnstone - 2

Sanderling - 3

Semipalmated Sandpiper - 2

Least Sandpiper - 6

Buff-breasted Sandpiper - 2

Mourning Dove

E. Bluebird

Euro Starling

Common Yellowthroat

Song Sparrow

N Cardinal

Red-winged Blackbird

House Finch

Am Goldfinch

 

Most of the shorebirds were in the rectangular pond in the raised area on
the left.  As you walk into the ash pond area from the gravel parking area
at the ballfields, take the road going up the raised dikes at the siren
tower with the photovoltaic panel on it.  The pond with the shorebirds will
be on your right when you get to the top of the raised dikes.
