11 MAY 04
Great Lakes Pond (across from Elizabethton Municipal Airport)
HWY 91 
and
Heather Lane
near Milligan College
both in Carter Co., TN
.
Kami and Sam Cross and me followed a tip from Tom McNeil on some shorebirds 
at the Great Lakes Pond off HWY 91 in Elizabethton this evening. Our tally 
included:
Least Sandpipers - 5
Solitary Sandpiper - 1
Spotted Sandpiper - 2
missing our targeted Semipalmated Sandpiper
.
From there we traveled to Heather Lane near Milligan College and just past 9 
PM we heard a serenade of Chuck-will's-widow calls. There were at least two 
different calling birds as they had us surrounded. Dr. Fred Alsop had told 
about 
the birds calling in this area.
'Til we bird again
