[TN-Bird] Migration on Front - Shelby Co.

July 12, 2009

Well, the rain passing through put a kick in the migration, 10 species of  
Wind Birds were present today at the "Pits" and 8 were migrants. The migrant 
 numbers topped 100 for the first time, giving a jump start to the fall  
season. Besides the resident breeders, Black-necked Stilts and Killdeer,  also 
present today were: 1-Semipalmated Plover, 3- Solitary Sandpiper, 3  Lesser 
Yellowlegs, 8-Semipalmated Sandpiper, 4- Western Sandpiper, 91- Least  
Sandpiper, 4- Pectoral Sandpiper and 2- Short-billed Dowitcher. I never saw the 
 
Spotted Sandpiper over the weekend.
 
A single Forster's Tern rested on one of the sand spits just peaking out  
from the muddy Mississippi while Least Terns are trading about carrying 
minnow  gifts for their lady loves.  
Good Birding  !!!
