Cocke & Hamblen counties, 8/24/10, 2:00 to 4:30 PM, by canoe
Douglas Lake elevation: 986.5 (still too high for good viewing from
shore)
We saw typical numbers of the usual species, and STILT SANDPIPER was
the only first-of-season species recorded. Oddly, we didn't see any
shorebirds whatsoever at Rankin Bottoms, but found some in the
Nolichucky River portion of the WMA. That's where we also saw the
SNOWY EGRET & LITTLE BLUE HERONS.
Partial list:
Pied-billed grebe (near the coal tipple)
Great egret (100+)
Little blue heron (6)
Snowy egret
Osprey (3, lowest count since spring - adults gone?)
Red-tailed hawk
Killdeer (55)
Lesser Yellowlegs
Spotted sandpiper (5)
No peeps
Stilt sandpiper (2)
Prothonotary warbler
