Rankin Bottoms, Cocke County, 918/1, 4-7 PM, by  canoe
Douglas Lake elevation: 978.1 ft.
From the car, we could see a few shorebirds along the mudbar east of  the 
tipple road ; we launched the canoe and went west under the trestle, where we 
found a lot more.  At about 6 PM, all of those flew back across to Rankin 
Bottoms, joined the others, and spread out along the mudbar.  Great egrets were 
flying to roost west of the trestle as the sun went down.

Partial list:

Wood duck (5)
Great blue heron (26)
Great egret (150+)
Black-crowned night-heron (5)
American golden-plover (2)
