TVA has been rapidly drawing down Douglas Lake.  As of this weekend, it will be 
possible to drive along the old RR bed across Rankin Bottoms to the TWRA gate 
(4x4 recommended).  Plenty mudluscious habitat for any late shorebirds.  
 
I saw a YELLOW-THROATED VIREO  along Hwy 107S in Del Rio today.  At the house, 
we've had 2 female RED-BREASTED NUTHATCHES at the birdfeeders for the past 2 
weeks.  Also seen here since last weekend:
Pine warbler
Black and white warbler
Yellow-rumped warbler
Brown creeper
Rose-breasted grosbeak
Golden-crowned kinglet
Hairy woodpecker
Blue-headed vireo
Screech owl. 
 We've heard BARRED  and GREAT HORNED OWLS and a WOOD THRUSH  off in the woods, 
and we're hosting a small gang of WILD TURKEYS.
