Ensley Bottoms and
Mississippi River Front,
Shelby Co. TN
A fast trip through the pits saw a good increase in numbers with quite a
spread of peeps. A scan from various locations revealed all the regular
suspects
plus a Greater Yellowlegs that circled the area continually calling and
finally headed west toward the river.
At the river front, strewn along the various sandbars were 21 Black-necked
Stilts, Killdeer, Lesser Yellowlegs, Willet, Spotted, Solitary, Least, Pectoral
and one Wilson's Phalarope. There were no gulls or terns except for the
scattered Least Terns. A single DC Cormorant sunned on an exposed stump on
Dacus
Bar. Tomorrow should be even better.
Good Birding!!!
