Suddenly the skies opened up and the Wind Birds started falling in. The wind is 
out of the south and they are looking for areas to rest as there are no 
sandbars on the river.

Earlier, one of pale birds on TVA Lake morphed into a PIPING PLOVER. There are 
a dozen Semipalmated Plovers, over 20 immature Semi-Sands, and a season first 
BAIRD'S. Now numerous Lesser Yellowlegs and a few Stilt Sandpipers have dropped 
in out of the blue.

I am photographing a fight between a male and female AVOCET and irate 
Black-neck Stilts. The Avocets can't seem find any place to rest that is 
uncontested by some Black-necked Stilts.

Black-bellied Whistler young look like they are doing fine.

Good Birding,
