A WHIE IBIS and a LITTLE BLUE HERON, both immature, joined the great egrets at Rankin Bottoms yesterday. More than 400 TREE SWALLOWS were roosting on the power lines across the mouth of the Nolichucky River; hundreds more streamed north along Douglas Lake, probably heading for the power lines past the Rankin Bridge. A few more species to add to the list of 6/28: Belted kingfisher Eastern wood-peewee Eastern kingbird White-eyed vireo Purple martin Barn swallow Cedar waxwing Indigo bunting Orchard oriole Lake level is currently at 993.6.
