Stopped again Tuesday evening, Aug. 13, at the manmade lake next to
Morton Mill Road in Bellevue hoping for a change of scenery. (This
area gets overflow from the Harpeth River when it floods.) Instead
I got the usual suspects with a big increase in Killdeer. The water
level continues to expose more mudflats but with the brief rains this
morning, the level may rise by tonight.
Least Sandpiper 5
Solitary Sandpiper 1
Killdeer 24+
Hummingbirds seem to be on the increase at my home and at least a couple
have stayed for 2-3 days. Some of the birds can be identified by
the their particular feather moult. With the increase in numbers the
territorial battles have increased. Certainly a pleasure to watch.
