The Black-necked Stilt was still there as of 6:30PM on
Monday. I took a few distant shots but haven't downloaded
them from the camera yet. The bird was less than 100 yds
from the road so a good digiscoper could get some good shots.
It's not actually on Hitch Pond wich is the larger of the
ponds in that area but a smaller pond closer to Phelps Rd
on the other side of the Osage Orange patch (which is worth
looking through for birds).
Several Killdeer and a Green-winged Teal (eclipse male I
think) were also at the pond. If you're in the area, keep
an eye out for Loggerhead Shrike. This is the only spot we
still get them within the Knoxville CBC circle. If you turn
left at the stop sign instead of right, you will get to Scenic
Point overlooking some good water for loons, grebes and such.
This area is a great birding spot worth a little time while
there looking for the stilt.
On another note, lots of birds passing are passing overhead
again tonight. I've been trying to get some audio recordings,
we'll see how they turn out tomorrow.
