[TN-Bird] Hudsonian Godwit Photos - Ensley Bottoms

May 17, 2009
Ensley Bottoms
Shelby Co. TN
 
What a nice surprise to find this Hudsonian Godwit at Ensley, 6 days  later 
than the one that showed up last year,  just 100 yards away from  where 
this morning's bird was busily feeding. 
 
Four photos starting at: _http://www.pbase.com/ol_coot/image/112652567_

Also at Ensley today: Killdeer, Black-necked Stilts, Spotted Sandpipers,  
Solitary Sandpiper, Lesser Yellowlegs, Semipalmated Sandpipers, Least  
Sandpipers, 1 White-rumped Sandpiper, breeding plumaged Dunlin.  Two male  and 
a 
female Shoveler plus pairs of Blue-winged Teal need to be watched for  
breeding. Four Lesser Scaup males are still hanging at TVA Lake with a  single 
female, no Black-bellied Whistling Ducks seen since Friday. A  pair of Sora and 
a few Coots still skulk in one pool and a Song  Sparrow was seen building a 
nest.
 
Good Birding  !!!
