13 Aug 2007 Dutch Bottoms & Ten Islands, on upper Douglas Lake Cocke & Jefferson Cos., TN Michael Sledjeski & I checked these areas this afternoon, Dutch Bottoms by land & Ten Is. by motorized canoe. Douglas Lake continues to fall, even as we were there. (Some areas that we motored through going up lake were a bit too shallow as we came back down, but we're only talking 6 inches or so.) Shorebird numbers were down, but should be variable at this season. Killdeer - ca. 150 Semipalmated Plover - 2 Spotted Sandpiper - 7 Lesser Yellowlegs - 5 Least Sandpiper - 45+ Pectoral Sandpiper - 18 Short-billed Dowitcher - 2 Ring-billed Gull - 1 Caspian Tern - 1 Great Egret - ca. 70 (did not watch going to roost, so probably more) Black-cr. Night-Heron - 10+ Osprey - 7 Rick Knight Johnson City, TN
