Had to go to Memphis for dental work today, did a little birding  
before and after.  In Shelby County I had a quickie Western Kingbird  
at the impound lot in Frayser; the Ensley pits were pretty quiet.  A  
dozen species of shorebirds there but relatively low numbers of all  
but Black-necked Stilts and Long-billed Dowitchers (29 of the  
later).  Some of the nicer sights were single Short-billed Dowitcher  
and Dunlin, and two Semipalmated Sandpipers, all in alternate  
plumage.  No sign of the whistling ducks at the pits or the TVA ponds.

On the way home, at O'Neil lake in Hatchie NWR (Haywood County) one  
each alternate plumage Common and Forster's Terns perched  
cooperatively side-by-side.
