The Cocke county chapter of Keep America Beautiful and the Rankin Bottoms
Project are sponsoring a litter cleanup at Rankin Bottoms on Saturday, April
12, from 10 am to 1pm.
Gloves and litterpickers will be available, or bring your own. There'll be
refreshments and free Rankin Bottoms t-shirts (printed too late for the last
cleanup - we'll save shirts for those attending), thanks to a grant from TWRA.
Meet near the coal tower.
This is the time of year that birding intensifies as Douglas Lake expands into
the Rankin floodplain, and migrants & summer residents appear. E.g., last year
on 4/13, I saw 6 shorebird species, a snow goose, and FOS prothonotary
warblers. Bald eagle numbers (as many as 25) increase as hundreds of carp move
into the shallows.
So, a good opportunity for birding and improving the Rankin IBA.
