[TN-Bird] Shorebird - The Pits

June 29, 2008
Ensley Bottoms
Robco Lake
Shelby Co, TN
 
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........
