[TN-Bird] Red Phalarope at Mud Island, Memphis

10/27/07
Mud Island
Shelby Co

Jeff Wilson called this morning with a Red Phalarope working the River out 
from Mud Island. The bird is moving quite a bit, and once Jeff saw it float 
out of sight under the bridge, only to reappear a few minutes later flying 
north up the river again. There is a lot of foam in the River, making it a 
little harder to pick this pale spinner up. It does get up and fly around a 
bit, which is how Jeff 1st picked it up. He had seen the bird from the north 
parking lot as well as the south parking lot. So, anyone trying, bring a 
little luck with you (or, maybe Jeff will still be around and TLBA might 
suffice!)

Good Birding!!
