[TN-Bird] Mississippi Rv and "Pits"

Sept.27, 2008
Shelby Co. TN
 
The river has finally turned its head down and a few birds were found,  
including; 3 Caspian Terns, 1 Forster's and a ton of DC Cormorants heading  
south. 
Over the tree line came 3 Broad-wings, 2 Cooper's and a circling resident  
adult Bald Eagle. Swallow numbers have dropped with a single Tree among the  
Rough-wings and Barn at Wolf River. The Chimney Swifts are still feeding very  
high but in smaller numbers.
 
Scanning through the thousands of Least Sandpipers at Ensley, produced 2  
Solitary, 2 Spotted, 20+ Western (most in basic or heading that way) and 3  
Semipalmated (getting late for them), a handful of juvenile Pectoral Sandpipers 
 
and a single bright immature SANDERLING. In one ditch line, I found one SORA 
and 
 flushed a Wilson's Snipe.  
Good Birding  !!!
