Rankin Bottoms, Cocke county, July 10, 2011, 6-8:30 PM; by canoe
Douglas Lake elevation: 992.6 (the lake has been higher than normal since late
March, probably the reason that wader and shorebird numbers have been lower
than normal)
Right after launching, we spotted a raptor flying low across the Tipple Pond.
White uppertail coverts, overall buffy tone indicate a juvenile Northern
Harrier - unusual to see any harriers this time of year.
Partial list:
Wood duck (30+)
Double-crested cormorant (ca. 60, 5 nests)
Great blue heron (12, 3 nests)
Great egret (45)
Green heron (9)
Black-crowned night heron (8, 1 juv.)
Osprey (9, plus 3 nestlings)
N. Harrier
Prothonotary warbler (5)
