Pardon the really late report, but I wanted to post my shorebird list from
Rankin Bottoms and Dutch Bottoms from 8 Sept 2011. I also include a small
gallery of sub-par images of the Hudsonian Godwit, Marbled Godwit, Red Knot
with a Wilson's Phalarope, among a few others. I went from Rankin to Whigg
Meadow, where I was offline until this evening.
If interested, first image starts here:

I had 24 species of shorebird at Rankin, plus 10 Sanderlings at Dutch Bottoms
(see second list below), for 25 species of shorebird in about 4 hours in east
Tennessee! I think all species were posted previously, however I think my
numbers differ for a few, for what that is worth. Quite a nice compilation of
species! The number of white-rumped sandpipers was excellent, of course the
godwits were pretty sweet too! Another incredible day of shorebirding in east
Tennessee!
