Red Phalarope and Avocet still present this morning around 7:30.  Stopped 
briefly on my way to Nashville. Thanks, Mike.

Rankin Bottoms, Cocke county, 9/9/14, 5pm-8pm, by canoe
Lake elev: 983 ft.

We had just enough time for a brief look and a blurry photo of a swimming 
phalarope before it flew off.  It appeared to have the thicker bill and bulkier 
chest of Red Phalarope, vs. Red-necked Phalarope (see the comparison photo in 
The Shorebird Guide, O'Brien et al., p. 222).   Maybe it will show up tomorrow 
for a better look.
