My daughter Gwen and I avoided the rain in middle Tennessee and spent a 
pleasant half day with Jeff Wilson in Memphis.  Jeff showed Gwen many of the 12 
life birds she got to see yesterday, including Loggerhead Shrikes feeding 
young, a brilliant Baltimore Oriole, and Gwen's favorite, a male Painted 
Bunting.  We struck out on the whistling ducks at Ensley, however, and headed 
back to Nashville by way of Hatchie NWR to look at cormorants.  There was only 
one on the lake - a Double-crested Cormorant.  No sign of the Neotropic 
Cormorant that Jeff reported a couple weeks ago.  We had a pleasant funny 
surprise, though, as we drove down the back side of Oneal Lake - 7 
Black-bellied Whistling Ducks perched in a small cypress tree in the middle of 
the lake!  (See photo at link below if interested.)  Thanks, Jeff.
