I made an effort to access Ensley Treatment Plant in Memphis this morning. Due
to the high water, I found my progress blocked at the 2 entryways with which I
am familiar, so I spent the morning looking for White-winged Doves on
President's Island. There are loads of doves on Channel Avenue which seem to
be
attracted to the railroad tracks by the spilled corn. There are about an equal
number of Mourning and E Collared Doves present. No luck with the WWs, the
most
interesting sighting was 2 different leukistic Collared Doves, one of which is
almost snow white. The area is somewhat lacking in aesthetic charm, rating
just
above the sewage ponds and garbage dumps - it does have it's own interesting
mixture of odors, and fast-moving large trucks to dodge.
I did find a group of 3 Western Kingbirds which stayed at the intersection of
Channel and Dock all morning
There was also a pair of Scissortail Flycatchers near 1920 Channel Avenue
