[TN-Bird] White Ibis, Tricolored Heron -- Dyer County 6/04/09

Sorry for the somewhat delayed post; I haven't had e-mail (or  
phone...) access in the interim.

Two interesting waders along Great River Road (Highway 181) in  
southern Dyer County Thursday afternoon (6/04/09):

Adult WHITE IBIS at about mile 5.6 (mile markers start at the  
Lauderdale Co line and go up northwards), on the east side of the  
road in a flooded field with some Little Blue Herons.

Adult TRICOLORED HERON on the south side of Moss Island WMA, south of  
the main entrance, near the south (ATV only) entrance, in wet fields  
on the east side of Great River Road, with a large flock of Snowy  
Egrets and Little Blue Herons.  Moss Island is a couple of miles  
north of the Obion River adjacent to Great River Road.

These waders are chasing around the stranded fish from the receding  
floodwaters and are moving around quite a lot.  There were no birds  
at all at the Tricolored spot the next day.  There were also dozens  
upon dozens of Cattle Egrets in the same general areas.
