July 5, 2008 I observed two Short-billed Dowitchers this afternoon in Greene County. The birds, both L. g. hendersoni adults, were feeding along the shore of a farm pond on Birdwell Mill Road, near Allen's Bridge in the southern part of the county. This eclipses my personal fall arrival date for SBDO by four days. On July 5 last year, the species was observed at Ten Islands in Cocke County by Leslie Gibbens and Michael Sledjeski.
