This morning Carolyn Bullock, Linda Zempel and I ran the regular "Pits ". There were several hundred shore birds in breeding plumage. The Dunlins, Stilt Sandpipers, White-rumped Sandpipers and Dowitchers were beautiful. I cannot remember seeing 50+ Dunlins in breeding plumage there before. There were two lagniappes: 5 fledged Shrikes huddled together on a barbed wire fence being fed by two adults and, in addition, a male Scissor-tailed Flycatcher feeding in the field below the TVA levee.
