[TN-Bird] Shorebird Tally - 7-22-06

July 22, 2006
Ensley Bottoms
Shelby Co. TN
 
With the season rushing past and my visits to the pits now limited to  just 
the weekends, I chomped at the bits on Friday after the cold front  finally 
broke the hot spell. I could hardly wait to get to the pits. The  northern 
front 
had cooled everything down but the shorebird movement and the  pits were 
crawling with birds. Two new species for the season were ferreted out  of the 
thousands. A single Semipalmated Plover and a breeding plumaged Stilt  
Sandpiper 
brought the season total to 13 species of Wind Birds and birds were  dropping 
in 
all morning.
 
An immature Coopers Hawk kept the birds up and rushing about all morning.  It 
was great to see clouds of shorebirds again, knowing not what might  be 
found. With the birds still moving this AM, Sunday ought to be even  
better................  
Good Birding  !!!
