Rankin Bottoms Cocke Co, TN 6 Sept 2011 Dave Kirschke and Rack Cross are still at Rankin Bottoms as darkness falls across the mudflats where they just found the Marbled Godwit, Hudsonian Godwit and one of the two Red-necked Phalaropes reported earlier today. For those birders who may be headed that way to find the rare trio, they observed the birds about a 100 yards before you arrive at the large observing and parking area which is before the coal tipple. There is a 6-foot high tree stub at the area and they looked out at an angle of about "2 o'clock". They good see the birds across the roadway which has been exposed from the falling water. They last observed the birds about 6:50 p.m. Let's go birding . . . . Wallace Coffey Bristol, TN
