[TN-Bird] Ensley/President's Island Report

Ensley Bottoms,
President's Island
Shelby Co. TN
 
I was downtown and had a little time yesterday morning, so I ran by  the 
pits. The truck traffic is unbelievable on Riverport since opening the train  
yard 
so be careful. 
 
The Black-necked Stilt nests still litter the ground and successful nesters  
protect their young. There were 2 White-rumped Sandpipers and 5 Least  
Sandpipers. The Least could be going or coming or just staying. Looking for the 
 
first sure shorebird returns any time now. 
 
The Western Kingbird was restless on the nest leaving and returning a few  
times while I watched and the male hunted in the cotton field. A quick run by 
at 
 the Scissor-tailed FC nest revealed the female on the nest but no male seen 
in  the short time I was there.  

Good  Birding!!!
