[TN-Bird] Tennessee NWR (Busseltown)

Spent a little more than an hour this morning at the Busseltown unit  
of Tennessee NWR (Decatur County), looking for shorebird habitat  
since the migration season is getting underway.  There were some  
muddy shores, but not many wading birds:  2 Great Blue Herons, 7  
Great Egrets, 8 Killdeers, and 2 Least Sandpipers.   The unit is  
mostly cornfields and open water.

Are there other good areas to look for shorebirds within about an  
hour of Lewis County?  What about the Duck River WMA in Maury  
County?  It is a huge sprawling collection of parcels; are any of  
them shorebird spots?

Thanks  --
