Rankin Bottoms, Cocke county, 4/6/2011, 4-6 PM, by car
Douglas Lake elevation: 978.4

Mike Roussin's report on Bristol-birds of 25 eagles on 4/5 at Rankin Bottoms 
prompted me to drive over for a look.  The lake has risen to the vicinity of 
the coal chute, but the road along the bottoms is still  above water.  I saw 
only 5 eagles; the bird inventory was typical for early April at Rankin.

Wood duck (14)
Am. black duck
Mallard (8)
Blue-winged teal (48)
Green-winged teal (10)
Double-crested cormorant (15)

  -at least 5 of 7 nests occupied, south of Rankin Bridge
Great egret (6-FOY)
Black vulture (14)
Osprey (7)
 -3 nests occupied, coal chute & 2 north of Rankin Bridge
Bald eagle (5 - 1 adult, 4 juv.)
Am. coot (15)
Greater yellowlegs
Lesser yellowlegs (5)
Ring-billed gull (48)
Cliff swallow (50+, at  Rankin Bridge)
Yellow-rumped warbler (2)
