5 Sep 2009 south fork Holston River in Kingsport, TN Spotted Sandpiper - 1 This bird was on the rocks behind the Riverfront Seafood Restaurant where one has wintered each of the last 4 years. It looked right at home. Could this be that bird back for another winter? On the other hand, this species is a common transient at this season. Rick Knight Johnson City, TN
