Kingston Steam Plant
Roane Co.
The Chattanooga chapters field trip lead by John Henderson (his computer is
down for about a week) was quite successful. The sky was a slight bit overcast
so the heat wasn't it's usual problem. It had rained recently so there was
no powdery dust and there were many great shore birds to pick through! Birds
of interest included:
Grasshopper Sparrow 3 At the parking area
Caspian Terns 2
MARBLED GODWIT 1
Western Sandpiper 12
Least Sandpiper 20+
Solitary Sandpiper 4
Semipalmated Sandpiper 1
Semipalmated Plover 1
Stilt Sandpiper 1
Short-billed Dowitcher 1
Lesser Yellowlegs 1
White-rumped Sandpiper 1
Black-crowned Night-Heron 1
Pectorial Sandpiper 6
Osprey 2 or 3
Great Egret 2+ at the steam plant area and another 12
to 15 "white
birds" in some trees across the river
about a mile away.
