[TN-Bird] One more Wind Bird

My apology to the dandy breeding plumaged Black-bellied Plover, as it was the 
first bird I heard calling when I arrived at the pits Saturday and later 
found strolling across a flat. He was much to elegant to have been left off 
the list. On Sunday I heard the call again from a flooded area west of 
Ridgley in Lake County and we were treated by a flyby of seven of these 
lovely birds while we were watching 11, also black and white attired, 
Black-necked Stilts, that were mating and constructing nests. Our group of 8 
attracted much attention from the locals as we strung out along this flooded 
area peering into scopes.

Good Birding!!!
