A quick trip to the pits produced 3 pair of these breeding ready,
Black-White and Red beauties. The males' legs were ruby red and their black
backs,
sleek as a new Cadillac limousine. Killdeer are at scrapes and there were 5
Pectoral Sandpipers, 3 Lesser Yellowlegs and 3 Wilson's Snipe. We are still a
month away from any bloom in the pits but the token few are here!
All eyes watched as a Sharp-shinned Hawk lazily circled above and drifted
north and both vultures were seen in small groups heading north along with
long
strings of Double-crested Cormorants. No ducks on TVA Lake due to
construction.
Good Birding!!!
