[Bristol-Birds] Phipp's Bend - Hawkins County

Made a short trip to Phipp's Bend this morning hoping to photograph some
birds.  Lighting deteriorated to the point where there just wasn't enough
for long-lens photography.  Did see quite a few species and got a couple of
photos before light dissapeared.  Here is a partial list:
