[birdky] BKY-RPT: Short-billed dowitchers; misc. other sightings

Short-billed dowitchers.  13 flew over and around several times, calling 
repeatedly.   One pass was VERY fast, centered over my head, only 10 feet or 
so (seemed like 10 inches) over my head.  Today, May 10, about 1:00 pm.  
Hardy Slough west of Henderson (Sauerheber Unit of Sloughs Wildlife Mgmt. 
Area).  Pretty dead otherwise.  One sora, a few bank swallows, and nothing 
else of particular interest.  

Grasshopper sparrows.  May 10.  Homestead Unit, Peabody WMA.

Two Mississippi kites, three fish crows.  May 9.  Long Point, Reelfoot.  

May 8.  Sinclair Unit of Peabody WMA:  Bell's vireo, willow flycatcher, blue 
grosbeak, Henslow's and grasshopper sparrows.
