[tn-bird] Piping Plover Parade

July 28, 2002

Piping Plovers are scarce as hens teeth unless you look in the right places 
at the right times. As I've stated before adults pass through this area and 
especially down the Mississippi River between July 15 and Aug. 1 and 
immatures and adults come thereafter through the first week in September. I 
have seen Piping Plovers on 6 dates in July, 9 in Aug. and 5 in Sept, here 
along or near the Mississippi. On 6 of those dates I had 2 Piping Plovers in 
view at the same time.

Kevin and crew from Chattanooga took this to heart and were at Island 13 in 
Lake Co. this morning and came away with a winner. I was here at Memphis 
early this morning and had another and on Saturday Kenny and LaDonna had two 
in Arkansas. They are coming through; rare but regular as clock work, just 
get out on a sandbar and lay back................

Good Birding!!!
