On a late afternoon trip out to the pits, I ran into Michael Roedel scanning 
the shorebirds. We enjoyed looking through and finding a few oddities among 
the hordes of Least Sandpipers. The best shorebird was an immature, female 
Wilson's Phalarope found late while we were being serenaded by a pair of nearby 
Great Horned Owls.

At TVA Lake there were 96 Great Egrets with more falling in among the 
hundreds of ducks. At 6:45 I suddenly ran across two new birds that had not 
been 
there minutes before, a female Gadwall and THE MOTTLED DUCK.


Good Birding!!!
