Rankin Bottoms - Leadvale, Cocke & Jefferson county, 10am-12:30pm, by canoe 
with Gayle Rice & Ann --, also observed from shore
Lake elevation: 982.4 ft - nearly 3 ft. higher than a week ago

The lake has risen to cover nearly all the mudflats - so, there's much less 
shorebird habitat.  TVA will start drawing down the lake again on Monday 
evening.

An American Avocet was still present, seen after walking the orange-flagged 
trail from the parking lot halfway between the WMA entrance & the tipple.

Partial list:

Canada goose (ca. 300)
Blue-winged Teal (150)
