[TN-Bird] shorebirds,yellowcrown, etc.

Saturday 22 APR 2006 at Meadowview Marsh in Kingsport, Sullivan Co., TN, Dianne 
Draper and I saw 18 Greater Yellowlegs and several other shorebirds which I 
thought could be Solitary Sandpipers.  It was at twilight, and the Greater 
Yellowlegs were calling.  They were on the golf course which was partly 
flooded.  Most of them left when someone walked across the golf course, but 
some of them later returned.
 
Sunday 23 APR 2006, at Sycamore Shoals State Historic Area in Elizabethton, 
Carter Co., TN, Dianne Draper and I saw a Yellow-crowned Night-Heron displaying 
beside the old nest that was unsuccessful there last year.  There was 
apparently no other yellowcrown present, yet the bird displayed several times 
over several minutes.  It would tip forward, spreading its wings and plumes.  
After a while it left the area.
 
Monday 24 APR 2006 at Clyde Austin 4-H Center in Greene Co., TN I observed a 
Solitary Sandpiper and a Spotted Sandpiper on our canoeing pond.  I also 
accidentally flushed a Wild Turkey from its nest.  I counted 13 eggs.
