[TN-Bird] Snowy Egrets, Lake County

April 26, 2007
Lake County, TN

While working in Lake County again today I saw my first Snowy Egrets of the 
spring in three different areas (Wynnburg Slough, Phillipy Pits, Reelfoot WMA) 
totaling 7 individuals. I visited the shorebird areas that I was at yesterday 
and there were a lot less birds present than there were yesterday. Pectoral 
Sandpipers and Lesser Yellowlegs numbers were way down from yesterday but there 
were actually a few more Greater Yellowlegs than there were yesterday. The 
Willet that I found yesterday at the Philippy Unit of the Black Bayou Refuge 
was not seen today.

I had a singing Blue-headed Vireo and a Swainson's Warbler in the woods at the 
end of Ernie Pierce Road by the Reelfoot WMA (handicapped duck blind area). 
Both were spring firsts for me.

Good birding,
