["Allan Trently" <ajtcorax@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I birded the Tennessee Valley Authority's Kingston Steam (Fossil) Plant in 
Roane County, Kingsport, TN today (November 14, 2005) from about 4:45 to 
5:25 pm.

In the first ash pond that you come to on the left (and not up on the hill):

Gadwall- many
Hooded Mergansers
American Coots

And out on the Tennessee River an island has been exposed due to dropping 
water levels.  This island had about 40 shorebirds on it:

Killdeer- 38
Dowitchers- 2

These shorebirds were viewed in the rain at dusk and with a light fog.
