[TN-Bird] Gallatin Steam Plant

I do not recall reported the following information on TN Birds.  If I did 
not, sorry for the late report.  I believe TVA's Gallatin Steam Plant is 
off-limits to birders, though I'm not certain of this.  I was working on an 
Environmental Assessment for TVA at the plant during my survey.

On May 12, 2005, I visited TVA's Gallatin Steam Plant in Gallatin, TN 
adjacent to the Cumberland River.  The following birds (the list is 
abridged, only select birds listed below) were observed:

1. Common Yellowthroat- 4
2. Yellow-breasted Chat- 3
3. Great-crested Flycatcher- 2
4. Summer Tanager- 3
5. White-eyed Vireo- 2
6. Prairie Warbler- 8
7. Least Sandpiper- 89
8. Semipalmated Plover- 22
9. Semipalmated Sandpiper- 1
10. Killdeer- 7
11. Spotted Sandpiper- 1

This is a great area for shorebirds.  If birders don't have access to the 
site, maybe we should approach TVA about gaining access if only limited 
access.
