[OLCOOT1@xxxxxxx]

Sept. 3, 2006
Mississippi River
Ensley Bottoms
Shelby Co. TN
 
There were 3 Willet on Dacus Bar in the AM but only one stayed for the  
afternoon. At the pits a single Lark Sparrow was seen in the morning on the  
levee 
at the very back pit. Stilt Sandpipers had increased in numbers, all  immature 
but there was still only one Buff-breasted Sandpiper. This buffy  has a 
slightly droopy right wing but seems to fly with no apparent difficulty. 
 
Very few immature Pectoral Sandpipers found in their  numbers while the 
percentage of young Lesser Yellowlegs, Least and  Semipalmated are quite high. 
Again, only 3 Western were found, all immature  birds. Solitary Sandpiper 
numbers 
have turned downward and only 2 Spotted  Sandpipers were seen. Only 15 Wind 
Bird species for the weekend.  
Good Birding  !!!
