[TN-Bird] Ducks and Shorebird Report

June 8, 2008
President's Island
Ensley Bottoms
Shelby Co, TN
 
The Mottled Duck on President's Island was relocated after 2 trips  Sunday 
but the Black-bellied Whistling Ducks at Ensley were not to be found. A  pair 
of 
Eastern Kingbirds have taken over the hybrid Scissor-tail nest site on  
President's Island and the female has been sitting on the nest for the past  
week. 
Hopefully the hybrid is just late again showing up as in  previous years. The 
other Scissor-tail pair have changed ends of the cross bar  they used last 
year and the female is now incubating full time.
 
Least, Semipalmated Sandpiper and White-rumps are still hanging around at  
the pits in dwindling numbers plus a surprise Semipalmated Plover showed  up 
Sunday. The Solitary Sandpiper and Coot seen Saturday, continue to keep  
company. 
Young Black-necked Stilts and Killdeer abound. A healthy crop of  Mallard 
young but Blue-winged Teal still sitting tight, should be at least 3  nests 
this 
year.  
Good Birding  !!!
