MS. RV. Memphis
 
Finally, after months of waiting, a sand bar appeared on the  Mississippi 
River. The river has fallen about 12 feet over the last  week and produced 
nesting habitat for Least Terns. The Least Terns were  swarming the slip of 
sand plus a late migrating Black Tern rested among  them and a surprise 2nd 
summer Franklin's Gull did a slow flyby. I just barely  got an ID able photo 
of the Franklin's.  
Good Birding  !!!
