I birded TWRAs Eagle Bend Fish Hatchery in Clinton, Anderson County, TN today (July 28, 2006) from 8:38 am to 9:39 am. The following is a list of shorebirds and herons observed: 1. Great Egret- 3 2. Semipalmated Plover- 1 3. Killdeer- ~154 4. Solitary Sandpiper- 1 5. Spotted Sandpiper- 2 6. Least Sandpiper- 9 7. Pectoral Sandpiper- 14 8. Baird's Sandpiper- 1 (This bird had black legs and was larger than a least sandpiper, it appeared that its primaries were longer than the tail though a better look was needed, it did not have a white rump, it showed no rufous coloring anywhere, its bill was not as long as a "long-billed" western sandpiper, and its plumage was not that of an immature semipalmated sandpiper. A better look was desired- this id is my best judgment but should not be taken as 100% accurate.)
