Ensley Bottoms, Shelby Co. TN
Crittenden Co, (just barely) AR
I've been running across the bridge lately into AR helping the Samples of
Island 40 fame and had a female Scissor-tailed Flycatcher feeding 2 young
the last 3 days off Highway 131 just across the bridge.
At the "Pits" today, there were three Wilson's Phalaropes, all in fresh
juvenile plumage. After Seimbeck and I missed the Black-bellied Whistling
trio on Sunday-Monday and Tuesday, they resurfaced on Wednesday resting under
their favorite bush of Lamb's Quarter. Since Black-bellied Whistlers are
essentially night feeders the young might now be big enough to feed with the
adults after dark and the family is just bedding down in the day. The other
family group seems to have stabilized at 12 young. Black-necked Stilts are
everywhere!!!!
I've added new photos from today at:

What is this feathered thing that lifts my heart to the heavens.
