FreeLists / tn-bird / [tn-bird] Least Sandpipers in Nashville

[Frank Fekel <fekel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The past 2 days after work I have checked out the manmade small lake on
Morton Mill Road in Bellevue (next to the Harpeth River).  There is a bit
of mud along the edge paralleling Old Harding Road that seems to entice
shorebirds.

8 May:  4 Least Sandpipers

9 May: 10 Least Sandpipers

My conclusion is that the birds multiply faster than rabbits!

In past springs I also have had Semipalmated Plover, Dunlin, and
White-rumped Sandpiper there, so this spot is worth continual checking.
At the moment the water level is rather high but there is still 
enough mud to attract the birds.
