...or Rankin WMA...Cocke County, TN (I believe directions are given on
tnbirds.org)
On Thursday evening, Audrey Hoff and I went up there hoping to see the
Yellow-headed Blackbird. We did not, but we did find some other great birds.
There were no Black Terns, so perhaps the storm that Boyd Sharp reported did
indeed drive them off.
Highlights:
LAUGHING GULL (1) - This was truly an unexpected surprise. The gull flew past
us twice.
RUDDY TURNSTONE (1)
WHITE IBIS (2) 1 imm, 1 adult
also...over 150 Great Egrets, several Green Herons and Black-crowned
Night-Herons, Eastern Kingbirds, 100's of Tree Swallows and a small number of
Barn and Bank Swallows
1000+ shorebirds, including a few SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS.
Worth a trip, even without a Yellow-headed Blackbird.
