There were 9 Lesser Yellowlegs today, up from 2 yesterday and only 3 Least,
down from 9 yesterday. Cooper's Hawk still making strafing runs and over 15
Black-necked Stilts ganged up on a Great Blue Heron and escorted him out of the
area. Saw more Turkey and Black Vultures over the pits than I have ever seen
in over 20 years of watching down there??
Robco Lake use to hold a small group of Ruddy Ducks through the summer every
year. They have not been around for a few years but there is one female down
there this year.
I finally located the Western Kingbird nest off Chelsea in north Memphis
this afternoon. That makes 10 active nests with at least 2 more possibilities.
The hybrid female is still setting eggs........
