[TN-Bird] Zero to 100 Overnight - Wind Bird Arrivals!

July 7, 2007
Dacus Bar
Ensley Bottoms
Shelby Co, TN
 
Well almost zero;o) When I arrived at the pits this morning, all the birds  
were in the air as an adult male, Cooper's Hawk was circling over the main pit. 
 There are huge numbers of Starlings and Killdeer so it was an impressive 
swirl  of birds. When everything settled in, I was set back by the numbers of 
Least  Sandpipers and after counting from a couple of vantage points I had 112, 
plus  I'd come up with 2 Pectoral, 2 Lesser Yellowlegs, 1 Stilt Sandpiper and 3 
 Solitary Sandpipers. The Pectoral, Lesser Yellowlegs and Stilt were first of 
 season for the pits. So far in Shelby Co, the Wind Bird species total this  
season is 11.
 
On Dacus Bar, there were Killdeer, 21 Least Sandpipers and 3 Black-necked  
Stilts.
 
I've added a few photos to my 2007 page of my "TOO CUTE"  White-tail fawn 
that I lucked up on yesterday and a shot of the Stilt  Sandpiper that blew in 
this morning, plus a gutsy Killdeer...Try:
