[TN-Bird] TOS Ensley Bottoms birds

Sunday morning Jay Walko led one of the TOS trips to Memphis north  treatment 
plant and to  Ensley Bottoms. We ran into Jeff  Wilson at Ensley and he 
graciously shared with us his knowledge and  experience of shorebirds there at 
"the 
Pits". The shorebird assemblage was not  reported to be impressive the day 
before, but Sunday morning enough  birds came in to keep our spotting scopes 
busy. Rain  drove us off, and we left Jeff to watch for the rain to put that 
next 
good  bird down.
