Upper Douglas Lake, Cocke Co., TN

Most of Rankin Bottoms is now high & dry, now that the lake has fallen to about 
975 ft.  
Only the lower end still has any mud flat.  Most of the birds have moved just 
downstream 
to the Ten Islands section of the lake.  Michael Sledjeski & I checked this 
area by
motorized canoe.  This area is very difficult to access by land.  Some gulls, 
egrets, etc 
were also seen in the Dutch Bottoms section (downstream from Walters Bridge on
hwy 25-E).
