I'm not sure that this one will bring quite as many pelagic species inland
as Dennis did. Dennis rolled right over a significant number of areas where
these species breed and feed; I'm not sure that Katrina's track is going to
be quite as likely to entrain as many birds, especially given that breeding
season is over and thus the birds have dispersed more widely now. But, I'm
far from an expert on these things, and this is certainly one of the
strongest storms in recent memory that has a chance to make it this far
inland.
That said, I'm planning to check out Old Hickory Lake for an hour or two
Tuesday morning before work.

HURRICANE KATRINA BIRDS !
Category 5 -- One of the worst ever!
The discovery of rare storm-driven costal birds, pelagic species, and new
Tennessee state record species reported this week will probably be limited
only to the availability of birders and their efforts in the field.
The best observation time should begin: TUESDAY DAYBREAK
Without a doubt, the deep eye pressure and extreme winds can bring rare
birds to our state in numbers and diversity like no birders have witnessed
in Tennessee's history.
