13 Jan 2008 south fork Holston River in Kingsport Sullivan Co., TN Spotted Sandpiper - 1 Black-cr. Night-Heron - 7 few ducks, only notables: N. Shoveler - 6 N. Pintail - 3 The Spotted Sandpiper is being seen on the river shore at the Riverside Restaurant (I think that's the name; it's a good seafood place on Netherland Dr. under the interstate). It was recorded on the Kpt. CBC (26 Dec). This is the third consecutive winter that 1-2 have wintered there. Interestingly a single Spotted was found on this CBC on 22 Dec 1985 & 3 Jan 1987. Robinson (1990) cites "about 20" winter records in TN, with most coming from the southern third of Tenn.
