June 17, 2009 TVA Lake, Shelby Co. TN Robert Gooch called me today to say the pair of Black-bellied Whistling Ducks have again been using the marsh north of Coro lake for the past two days. I rode down and photographed them at noon and decided to go over to Ensley for a quick check. At TVA Lake, I got a big surprise, 5 Black-bellied plus 4 Fulvous Whistling Ducks resting together on the far silt flat. I got photos of both species together. Tommie and Ron Rogers were passing through and I directed them to TVA Lake and they found the 5 Black-bellied but had SIX Fulvous. What if they both breed here this year?? Also at the "Pits" were 3 White-rumped Sandpipers and I again saw the single male Spotted Sandpiper...... Good Birding !!! Jeff R.
