Bristol Birders: The term Hill Road in the post by Richard Blanton should
be changed to
Rankin Bottoms or Rankin WMA, if you are keeping records. This will help us
keep our
data collection consistent. I will try to stay alert to this important
technicality. Thanks to
Michael Sledjeski, the authority on birding Rankin Bottoms, for calling this
to my attention.
You may read his post that follows just below - Wallace Coffey, Bristol, TN

Wallace: Hill Rd. runs from just past Rankin Bridge (there's a WMA sign
there) to the WMA sign at the RR crossing - the roadway continues, but is no
longer technically under county jurisdiction. so the sightings location
should be considered as Rankin Bottoms or Rankin WMA. . . .
