8 Sep 2011 Rankin Bottoms, Cocke Co., TN Michael Sledjeski just called to say that both godwits (Hudsonian & Marbled) are still present this morning. An Am. Avocet has joined the party. Most of the birds were along the old road bed running through the mudflats. The road bed is passable. Walking along the shoreline near the treeline also provides viewing from a slightly elevated position. The action continues. Rick Knight Johnson City, TN
