[TN-Bird] Shorebirds Rear Guard

May 15, 2009
Ensley Bottoms
Shelby Co, TN
 
Shorebird movement is winding down but still a few birds coming through.  
This last front may drop some more in or deplete what's around, you just have 
to  get out and check each day if possible. Red-backed Sandpipers made for 
a  good show.
 
A noon day run produced: Many resident Killdeers and Black-necked Stilts  
both tending nests, 4 Spotted Sandpipers, 3 Solitary Sandpipers, 7 Lesser  
Yellowlegs, 262 Semipalmated Sandpipers, 1 ratty looking Western, 18 Least  
Sandpipers, 4 White-rumped, 1 late Pectoral, and 52 nattily attired Dunlin. 
 
A single flyby Black-bellied Whistling Duck, 3 Least Terns and stunt flying 
 Mississippi Kites were added treats.  
Good Birding  !!!
