March 12, 2006 Rankin Bottoms (RB) and various other sites in northern Cocke County I observed the following today in a brief trip to Cocke County: Osprey (3--2 RB, 1 nearby at Rankin Bridge; all showed nesting behaviors); Greater Yellowlegs (RB); Pectoral Sandpiper (RB); Wilson's Snipe (2 RB); Tree Swallow (15); Pine Warbler (2 singing males); Chipping Sparrow (singing male). There was very little water at Rankin Bottoms. Lake levels are still at winter lows, and there has been almost no rain lately.
