TN-birders, Sharon Bostick, Frank Bills, Dollyann & I went out to Rankin Bottoms in Cocke Co. this afternoon to see what has changed since Friday. There were far fewer overall shorebirds, especially Killdeer. Lots of Lesser Yellowlegs and Pectoral Sandpiper. Really nice looks at Western Sandpiper. The star attractions today were: 1 - a superb view of a Peregrine Falcon harassing the birds and flying right near us for a great look. 2 – 1 Black-bellied Plover seen at distance but Chuck Estes got a much closer look from a kayak. 3 – 1 Ruddy Turnstone is still around. 4 – Chuck Estes saw a Merlin about 30 minutes before we saw the Peregrine, but it apparently didn’t stay around. 5 – NO gulls or terns Great Birding, Ron Hoff & Dollyann Myers Clinton, TN
