I birded Chickamauga Reservoir on November 30, 2007.  The following is a list 
of selected birds per location.
 
North Mouse Creek embayment, McMinn County, TN

5. Sandhill crane- 18
6. Least sandpiper- 2

Of all the embayments birded in this area this one always has the most 
shorebird species possibly because it develops mudflats before some of the 
others.
