Shelby Co. TN
West TN and Tunica Co.
With over 4" of rain descending on Memphis the last couple of days, water
was not a problem. The regular waterfowl species and their numbers at the 3
Shelby Co, lakes are climbing but nothing special seen in the rain.
Sixteen species of ducks and geese were recorded. The crossbills were not
relocated in the downpour but plenty of pines to look through.
Over the last week, a few of the better birds were: Lincoln's and
Leconte's Sparrows among 11 species on the way to Reelfoot, ( I've spent a lot
of
time looking for the odd sparrow) Shrikes galore along the MS River,
Raptors in large numbers at Ensley Bottoms and Tunica Co, MS, including
photographed, Krider's, light and dark morph calurus, along with adult and
immature
Harlan's, plus Bald Eagles at 4 nest sites in TN, gulls in large numbers
from Tunica MS to Reelfoot in TN, including a Lesser Black-b at Tunica dump,
an immature California at Arkabutla Dam and the adult Little Gull at
Reelfoot. Sandhill Cranes at Eagle Lake Shelby Co, TN and Tunica Co. MS plus 2
different Short-eared Owls seen out in daylight.
