TUE 31 AUG 2004 Rankin Bottoms, Cocke Co., TN D. Holt Lots of birds opposite the coal tipple this afternoon between 5:30 and 7:30pm. Good lighting and a hi powered scope let me see enough shorebirds to be thoroughly confused for some time to come. :-) I didn't see much different than what Don Miller reported recently, except for a juvenile Sanderling, a Forster's Tern hanging with three Caspian Terns, six Cattle Egrets, and several Common Nighthawks. I may be going back to Rankin Wed. and Thu. afternoons this week. If anyone wants to join me call me at (423) 914-5862.
