[TN-Bird] B-b and Fulvous Whistling Ducks Together - Memphis

June 17, 2009
TVA Lake, Shelby Co. TN
 
Robert Gooch called me today to say the pair of Black-bellied Whistling  
Ducks have again been using the marsh north of Coro lake for the past two 
days.  I rode down and photographed them at noon and decided to go over to 
Ensley for a  quick check. At TVA Lake, I got a big surprise, 5 Black-bellied 
plus 4 Fulvous  Whistling Ducks resting together on the far silt flat. I got 
photos of both  species together. Tommie and Ron Rogers were passing through 
and I directed them  to TVA Lake and they found the 5 Black-bellied but had 
SIX Fulvous. What if  they both breed here this year??
 
Also at the "Pits" were 3 White-rumped Sandpipers and I again saw the  
single male Spotted Sandpiper......  
Good Birding  !!!
