Ten Islands, Cocke county, by canoe
Douglas Lake elevation: 968.6. TVA has kept the lake at about the
same level for over 2 weeks, unusual for Sepember. Much of the
shoreline and riverbottoms have dried out, and shorebird habitat is
limited to to muddy stream-fed inlets.
Gayle Rice, visiting from Georgia, and I went from the Walters Bridge
boat ramp up to Ten Islands. Most of the shorebirds that we saw were
located about a quarter mile west of the cove where they were
concentrated during yesterday's field trip.
Partial list:
AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER
