24 October 2007 Rick Knight telephoned at 1:47 p.m. to report he had just found 11 American Avocets at Austin Springs on Boone Lake, in Washington Co., TN This is in the northern area of Johnson City. He saw the birds from the "Rocky Mount" historic area end of the bridge where Austin Springs Road crosses the lake. He was looking south or downstream to the vicinity of where the birds were hanging out. The clip art of avocets is to stir your enthusiasm on a wet and drizzly day :-) Let's go birding......
