11 MAY 04 Great Lakes Pond (across from Elizabethton Municipal Airport) HWY 91 and Heather Lane near Milligan College both in Carter Co., TN . Kami and Sam Cross and me followed a tip from Tom McNeil on some shorebirds at the Great Lakes Pond off HWY 91 in Elizabethton this evening. Our tally included: Least Sandpipers - 5 Solitary Sandpiper - 1 Spotted Sandpiper - 2 missing our targeted Semipalmated Sandpiper . From there we traveled to Heather Lane near Milligan College and just past 9 PM we heard a serenade of Chuck-will's-widow calls. There were at least two different calling birds as they had us surrounded. Dr. Fred Alsop had told about the birds calling in this area.
