[TN-Bird] Black Necked Stilts

NW Lake Co. TN.
Jolly's Landing area just off  Miss. River
Found a family of 4 Black Necked Stilts  in the second pool near  Jolly's 
landing just North of the ramp area off the levee heading North from Jolly's 
landing.  The young are nearing full grown.  Their tail feathers are beginning 
to appear. Lots of water there and will be a good area for shores birds for a 
while.  While driving up Tiptonville Ferry Road from Tiptonville looking for 
shorebirds/habitat I found there is going to be good habitat since the river is 
up and mud flats are forming.  On the East side of the road there are pools of 
water that the Egrets and Great Blue Herons are using now. No ducks or Terns 
seen.

Phillippy Pits area has some water at the deeper part by the levee and in the 
ditch.

The family of Black neck stilts on Robinson Bayou rd South of Tiptonville and 
North West of Ridgely were surviving the last news I had but water was getting 
scarce.
