05-14-13 Sunny and slightly windy The Pits Memphis, TN My sister and I left at 0100 this am and arrived at 0600. We had a great day! Thank you Ruben Stoll for pointing some birds out to us. Fulvous Whistling Duck (life bird) Black-bellied Whistling Duck Northern Shoveler Blue-winged Teal Canada Goose Black-necked Stilt Short-billed Dowitcher (life bird) White-rumped Sandpipers (life bird) Wilson's Phalarope (life bird) Quite a few other little shore birds we are still IDing Dicksissel Meeman-Shelby Millington, TN We parted there having to stay on schedule since we would be 15h on the road. We ended up in Meeman-Shelby State Park. I was after the Mississippi Kite. I spoke with the ladies at the front desk and, apparently, there is a nest just across the street to the left. We stood there for about an hour and the Kites showed themselves numerous times. She stated that they have been very active there for the past couple weeks. I also photographed a Baltimore Oriole down at the lake. Hatchie Stanton, TN Total bust! Marnie Mitchell Rutherford County
