9/3/11 - I was unable to locate the Ruff from my canoe today at Rankin Bottoms (Cocke Co). I went down past the train trestle as far as the first silo, as well as checking the main area. Other visitors watched the area across from the RR tipple with scopes without success. However, we all had a great time and saw some very nice birds. Tim Jeffers East Ridge, Hamilton Co
