July 1-2-4, 2006
Mississippi River
Memphis, TN
Multiple trips looking over the river around Memphis, over the long weekend,
produced one Caspian Tern and 2 separate Black Terns. The down side was the
recent river rise that completely covered a sandbar out from Mud Island and
swept away numerous Least Tern nests. The rise here was caused by the Ohio
River and will be about 6 foot with a turn down starting in a couple of days.
Hopefully the Least Terns will have a chance to nest again but this time on
higher ground..............
The 4th of July weekend is hard on these terns anyway with all the 4
wheelers, campers and boaters visiting the sandbars and destroying nesting
colonies
just at their peak.
Good Birding !!!
