Eagle Lake and Ensley Bottoms
Shelby Co. TN
 
After finding my FOS Snowy Egret on Saturday, Sunday produced a single  
Little Blue Heron at Eagle Lake and another 9 did a fly over at Ensley. Single  
Green Herons showed up at both locations.
 
The downtown terror (Peregrine) was feasting on a high sign Sunday  morning 
but disappeared into the canyons between the buildings not to be  relocated. If 
there is a nest, there should be some feeding going on soon. The  Mississippi 
River has fallen some 15 foot after a 20 foot rise and now Dacus Bar  has 
reappeared. Hopefully the Peregrines will again take up their perches so  
locating and following them might be easier.
 
Both of the Bald Eagles were present but only one made a trip to the future  
nest site. The rest of the time they sat close together in another tree or  
soared together above the bluff. There was little progress made on the nest but 
 
a few branches had been added. This looks like it is going to be a long,  
drawn out process but I hope they just keep plugging.  
Good Birding  !!!
