Ten Islands, Douglas Lake, Cocke county, by canoe
Lake elevation: approx. 975.8 ft.

9/28/10 (with Leslie Gibbens) -   The air was filled with birds: uncountable 
tree swallows everywhere, with flashing flights of shorebirds. RED-NECKED 
PHALAROPE was the bird or the day, a lifer for us. We spotted it foraging with 
a sanderling; it later joined a flock of pectoral sandpipers.
  
Partial list:
Great egret (150+))
White ibis (4 juvenile)
