Night game = morning birding
Didn't have much time but spent a couple hours Sat morning
(1 Sept 2007) birding at Dutch Bottoms in Cocke Co. Numbers
of birds were low and they were far away but good diversity
and some great species. Peep numbers were ridiculously low,
probably because they were too far away to spot.
Highlights:
Canada Goose, numerous
Double-crested Cormorant, numerous
Great Blue Heron, numerous
Great Egret, numerous
BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER, 1
Killdeer, 50+
AMERICAN AVOCET, 3
Lesser Yellowlegs, 2
Solitary Sandpiper, 1
Spotted Sandpiper, 1
RUDDY TURNSTONE, 4
Least Sandpiper, 1, ludicrously low number
BAIRD'S SANDPIPER, 1 juvenile
Pectoral Sandpiper, 1
Tree Swallow, 200++
BANK SWALLOW, 50++
Cliff Swallow, 20+, tried hard for Cave but all I saw well had dark faces
Barn Swallow, 20+
Blatently obvious tip of the day: Avoid the dark mud.
GO VOLS!
