Ensley Bottoms
Shelby, Co. TN
Two trips to Ensley on Thursday yielded the 3 Wood Storks that have been 
present every day this week in the barrow pits along Riverport Road and a 
Neotropic Cormorant flying with the DC Cormorants going to roost. I got a 
couple of photos before they flew on toward Robco Lake. This is the 3rd 
Neotropic I've had at Ensley, the last being on Sept. 12, 2004. 

Working downtown this week, I've been able to run down as storms approached and 
it has paid off, a full run down later. Buff-breasted continue to be quite 
obliging while the Uplands still sulk. I was able to walk with the 
Buff-breasted after dark the other night and got a few up close and interesting 
shots using a flash. They are super nice birds.

On the Mississippi River yesterday flotillas of Pied-billed Grebes floated 
south and a group showed up on TVA Lake. Caspian, Black and Least Terns plus 
Ring-billed Gulls have been numerous.
