[TN-Bird] Avocet - TVA Lake Memphis

Oct. 21, 2004
Ensley - TVA Lake
Shelby Co. TN


A quick trip in between appointments today, yielded another male Avocet in 
winter plumage. It looked a lot like the one I found there on the 9th. I've got 
pretty good photos that might prove the point one way or the other. The 
Black-necked stilt has not been seen since I reported it had been joined by an 
adult 
female last week. The Snowy Egret still hunts the flats and more Coots and 
Pied-billed Grebes were present today.

On the shorebird front at the pits, it appears the numbers had dropped about 
1/3 but still nice numbers of Dunlin, Stilts and Lesser Yellowlegs with gobs 
of Least and a thin sprinkling of Semipalmated and Western Sandpipers. LB 
Dowitchers are still scattered like Saturday rather than all grouped up like 
they 
do normally?


Good Birding!!!
