April 6, 2011
Robco Lake
Shelby Co. TN
 
A quick trip by Robco revealed the Red-necked Grebe contently  sleeping 
with some Pied-bills. The grebe has hung around for 45 days and is  still not 
in breeding plumage, just showing some reddish on the neck and a well  
defined white cheek patch. The Common Loon was snorkeling  and 5 Cattle  Egrets 
were mixed in with 20+ Great Egrets that just kept falling in along the  
water's edge. Chimney Swifts have arrived and joined the large mixing of  
swallows and Purple Matins swarming the lake.    
( Gail King just reported that the Great Egret number has grown to  35)
