David Brown and I made a trip to Fulton County today with a stop by the dams with the following highlights: FULTON COUNTY WILLOW POND Mallard w/ brood ISLAND 8 SLOUGH Pied-billed Grebe Black-necked Stilt (2) STATE LINE SLOUGH Black-necked Stilt OBION WMA/UPPER BOTTOMS Blue-winged Teal (2 males loafing which suggests possible breeding) Greater Yellowlegs Forster's Tern (2) We encountered very few Least Terns in the fields where Joanie and I saw many last week and hopefully they are finding suitable nesting sites now. The number of stilts observed in the lower bottoms dropped from 18 last week to 3. Mississippi Kites and Fish Crows were scattered as were Great Egrets. Only two Little Blue Herons were observed near Long Point. There were several Great Egrets present at the Phillippy pits in Tn.
