TN birders,
Spent 8-10:30am today at Brainerd Levee(b) and Standifer Gap Marsh(s), after
getting info from John Henderson regarding shorebird sightings from the levee
the previous afternoon.

Interesting was the fact that all the shorebird species were seen between
8-8:30 with Daniel Jacobson except the lesser yellowlegs. When I cam back to
behind Boyd-Buchanan school on the return trip, all the other shorebirds had
left except the yellowlegs, and the great egret had shown up in the interval.
Things are moving quickly, and I expect a different slate of birds to be there
this evening. Also, Dan and I had no luck with the phalarope that John had
yesterday, felt most likely to be a Wilson's.
My reason for going to SGM was the fact that Libby Wolfe had a yellow rail on
the back road of the marsh a few days ago. Right place at the right time,
again. Way to go Libby on a new state bird. I had no luck with this one.
