Due to an email problem, this email did not post to TN-Bird when I sent it
last night.  Hope all that try to see the bird are successful.  Sorry for
the delay.
 

Sharp-tailed sandpiper was found by Virginia Reynolds and myself, late
afternoon (Thursday, Sept 9), at Ensley Bottoms.  We observed it at about
150 feet for 10 minutes in very good light.  I judge it to be an adult in
breeding plumage, transitioning to basic.  It had a rich, brown back with
rufous scapulars.  There was rufous on the crown.  It had a white
supercilium.  It had a down-curved dark-gray to black bill.  It had dark
streaking on the flanks and greenish-gray legs.  We saw it in the big,
raised pond to the left of the 110.  We saw it from the road on the south
side of that pond.  A plane flew over and it flew north.  We could not
relocate it at the Pits or on the TVA Lake.
