[HapC1@xxxxxxx]

It seemed like the right time to set out in search of shorebirds and I was 
not disappointed.  I started counting birds in Fulton County, the majority of 
them were found in Obion WMA and Long Point.  Here are the numbers I physically 
counted, if you multiply the Lesser Yellowlegs and Pectoral Sandpipers by 
three it would still be conservative.
Semipalmated Plover -1
Greater Yellowlegs - 39
Lesser Yellowlegs - 424
Solitary Sandpiper -17
Western Sandpiper - 1
Least Sandpiper - 26
Baird's Sandpiper - 4
Pectoral Sandpiper - 709
Wilson's Snipe - 1
Other birds of interest were 5 Little Blue Heron, 3 Snowy Egret, 6 Bobolinks, 
2 Loggerhead Shrike and 3 baby eagles still in the nest.
