[OLCOOT1@xxxxxxx]

April 5, 2008
Ensley Bottoms
Shelby Co, TN
 
A Black Scoter tried to hide among the 54 Lesser and 6 Greater Scaup today  
at TVA Lake. In the photos the bird did not look anything like the other Blacks 
 that had been at the lake over the winter but it may have just been in ratty 
 transition plumage.
 
Other lingering birds photographed were; a Krider's adult, a dark morph and  
a light calurus Red-tail all running a little late. Both Bald Eagles were on  
their nest and appeared to be feeding young while the Great Horned Owls have  
left their nest and the Red-tails sit tight. A hand full of shorebirds were  
widely scattered but the big numbers were just south of Memphis in flooded  
fields. Golden-Plovers, Least, Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs plus one Solitary  
were I ferreted out in Ensley.   
Good Birding  !!!
