I spent the early morning looking for Painted Buntings in north Memphis and
found males singing at 3 locations and then another at the regular location in
south Memphis at Ensley.
Western Kingbirds and hybrid Kingbirds were located at 3 locations in
Frayser, at Levee Road and at an industrial warehouse area in south Memphis.
None
yet in Ensley that I could find. Nine individuals were seen with one pair
building a nest. A single male Scissor-tail awaits a mate on President's
Island.
Long walks at the "PITS" in Ensley produced 17 species of Wind Birds with 13
Wilson's Phalaropes, a single Baird's and growing numbers of Stilt
Sandpipers, White-rumped Sandpipers, Semipalmated Sandpipers, Dunlin, nesting
Black-necked Stilts but with significantly lower numbers of Solitary
Sandpipers,
Dowitchers plus continuing, unexpectedly low numbers of Pectoral Sandpipers.
Good Birding !!!
