This would be only the second record ever for Black-neced Stilt in East Tn and (to my knowledge) only the third for the state away from the Mississippi River!!!! There was a single bird at Eagle Bend Fish Hatchery in Anderson Co., TN on 1 Aug 1985. Congratulations to Charlie, Tracey, Mike, Leslie and Linda. I'm sure the Tennessee State Record Committee will be in touch to solicit an official report. Were there any indications of breeding behavior? We REALLY need to keep on top of this as it would be a major event and range expansion. I would like to hear more about these birds. Could the be seen from the road?
