Memphis TN 9-11-02 Nonconnah Bottoms Yesterday I found a large female American Kestral and two young Kestrals on and around the electrical towers behind a Pumping Station in Memphis. Coming south on Third Street, go past the I-240 expressway, look for the two gravel roads, going east and west along the top of the levee. There is no gate. To find the mother American Kestral, go east down the levee past the Pumping Station, go down a short gravel incline and duck under the bridge. She was perched on the silver electrical tower in the field on the other side. The two fledglings were hunting along the levee, but west of Third Street. Go back to Third St. and cross over. This is all part of the Nonconnah Bottoms. http://topozone.com/map.asp?z=15&n=3885326&e=767989&s=25 The Creek is very polluted. There are signs telling people not to eat the fish there. Poor birds... I think its even a Superfund site, so wash up when you leave.
