I didn't have time to bird this morning, but spent 90 min at the Walter S Davis 
Marsh (Davidson Co.) this morning.  I was rewarded with a good mix of 
shorebirds (for this little spot), a pair of yellow-crowned night-herons that 
flew in, and one sora working the edge of the cattails.  Chimney Swifts were 
photogenic this morning, well as photogenic as swifts can be.  I managed some 
decent photos of them, but it is a shame I had poor exposure settings for part 
of time before I bothered to check them (I blame this on not yet having had any 
coffee!).
