I birded Rankin Bottoms and Dutch Bottoms in Cocke County, TN today (Dec 1, 
2005) from 9:43 to 11:05 at Rankin and 11:39 to 12:39 at Dutch Bottoms.  I'm 
defining Dutch Bottoms as the area between Hill Rankin Road and the 25E/32 
bridge over the French Broad River.  This area is on page 61 of the DeLorme 
Atlas and Gazetteer for Tennessee.  Douglas Lake levels were 954.5 at 9 am 
this morning.  The first number is the number counted for Rankin Bottoms and 
the second number is the number counted for Dutch Bottoms.  The following 
list is a select list and does not include all the birds seen.

1. Kiildeer- 8, 19
2. Least Sandpiper- 0, 3
3. Wilson's Snipe- 7, 0  (seen at Birder's Point)
4. GB Heron- 24, 1
5. Great Egret- 0, 1
6. GW Teal- 0, 15
7. BW Teal- 0, 1
8. N Harrier- 1, 0
9. RB Gull- 182, 2
