Ensley Bottoms,
TVA Lake,
and North Treatment Plant
Shelby Co. TN
 
No water = few birds at Ensley but nice First of Season treats. An  adult, 
male Ruddy Turnstone was found on the dry bed of the large pit and  another 
molting female was turning clods at TVA Lake. Three Blue-winged Teal and  16 
Northern Shovelers indicate more birds are on the way.........Tomorrow!! as 
 winds are turning and will put new birds on the ground. Cooper's, 
Red-shouldered  immature, Red-tails and Kestrels kept the few shorebirds birds 
stirred up.
 
At the North Treatment Plant, the opposite problem as they have flooded all 
 the areas, covering any flats but in the vegetation 2 immature Stilt 
Sandpipers  were up to their bellies in the deep water.  
Still No Sandbars, but the Mississippi will drop a few feet in the next few 
 days and it looks like it is dropping all the way to St. Louis this  time 
;o).
 
Good Birding  !!!
