[tn-bird] Shelby Co. yesterday

29 Aug 2002
Shelby Forest
Eagle Lake WMA
Shelby Farms

    Given the nice weather, I went out yesterday.  At Shelby Forest found ten 
species of warblers (including a Blue-wing, 2 Worm-eatings, and a singing 
Cerulean).  An adult Ring-billed Gull was on the sandflats at the river 
landing.  Driving past a group of robins, I noticed a bird that looked white.  
I thought it must have been a very pale collared-dove, so I drove back to look. 
 It was an albino robin; all-white, with pink bill.  The second fully albino 
bird I've seen this week; there was an all-white Horned Lark near Walls, MS 
just south of TN line on Sunday.
    Eagle Lake held no surprises; still good numbers of Cattle and Great 
Egrets, Great and Little Blue Herons, plus at least one Snowy and a Green; also 
13 Blue-winged Teal and 7 Black-necked Stilts.
    The N. Shoveler was still at the fish ponds at Shelby Farms as of yesterday.
