Rankin Bottoms, Cocke county, 4/21, 1030am-12:30pm, by canoe
Douglas Lake elevation: 983.9 ft., bottoms flooded from the tipple east nearly
to the riverbank tree line
We put in near the tipple at about the time Mark Labig, who posted on TN-Bird
earlier today, was leaving. His list didn't include most of the species we
were able to see from the water, on the opposite side of the bottoms. We also
saw a few FOY birds along the the road.
