Rankin Bottoms, Cocke County
Several birders were combing the mudflats this afternoon at Rankin in hopes
of relocating the Red Phalarope posted earlier. As far as I know, no one
was successful. There were some shorebirds around, but most were hunkered
down and not very active, so difficult to see. As Rick Knight suggested,
maybe a Peregrine or Merlin passed over earlier today. My list pretty much
mirrored other birders present. Highlights:
White Ibis (3, immature..continuing)
American Avocet (1)
Yellowlegs sp (8)
Stilt Sandpiper (3, in a distant photo)
American Golden Plover (1)
White-rumped Sandpiper
Pectoral Sandpiper
Baird's Sandpiper (1)
Least Sandpiper
Semipalmated Sandpiper
David Kirschke called as I was leaving to report that he was looking at a
Buff-breasted Sandpiper.
