Sightings Report 9 April 2007, Upland Sandpiper Update, Ensley Bottoms,
Memphis, Shelby County
This morning I spent about an hour (1035-1130am) traipsing around and about
the grass fields of the Earth complex. Found the field that the Uplands were
reported in the past two days, however, they have moved on. I met several
other birders at the fields and none of the others had seen any either at
that time. I returned for a quick look at 245pm and still no upland's. Maybe
tomorrow. No chance at the pits though.

E. Meadow Larks -17

RW Blackbirds 50+

E. Starlings 25+

Red Tailed Hawks - 3 (one could have been a Kriders Hawk as its tail was
virtually white & under as it kettled upward with the other two)

M. Doves - 19

E. Towhee - 1

Savannah Sparrow -3 

Am. Kestral -1

 

TVA Ponds - Had to do a drive by just the same as recent checks.
