[TN-Bird] Memphis birds on the Mississippi

Today, Tues. 1-28-03, from Mud Island in Memphis, TN. I observed a PERIGRINE 
FALCON sitting out on the rocks on one of the jetties just hanging out for a 
while watching all the gulls go by.  I would imagine that it is the local that 
Jeff Wilson was talking about the other day that hasn't been seen in a while.  
The lone SNOW GOOSE was still hanging around that Jeff Wilson and I saw on 
Saturday and he saw again Sun. or yesterday one and the bird really doesn't 
look good.  I expect it to probably pass away this week it looks like.  It 
didn't look like it had a lot of energy left today as it sat on a group of 
rocks down from the large bar.  I saw the SPOTTED SANDPIPER that Jeff saw the 
other day as well out on the sand bar and it was a very energetic bird, it 
looked like it was having a feeding frenzy.  Other than that just R-B Gulls, 
Bonaparte's Gulls, Ring-necked Ducks, and a Hooded Merganser.
