Returning from Cove lake on Sunday I stopped by a small, muddy farm pond in
Jefferson County near Cherokee Dam.  It is on Renfro Road off of State Route
92.  There were ten peeps feeding in the shallow end of the Pond.  I believe
they are all Western Sandpipers, but would appreciate comments.  With the
high water in the TVA Lakes the shorebirds must be scrounging for any mud
flats they can find, however small.  I visit this site regularly and this is
the first time I have found shorebirds.
