Mississippi River
Ensley Bottoms
Shelby Co. TN
After work, a late afternoon trip by the river produced a few Least Terns
and a flight of 5 Black-necked Stilts heading mid-stream, down the river. On
the sandbar, there were a few small peeps, mostly Least.
At Ensley, I counted Killdeer, Black-necked Stilts on nests and 2 sets of
young, 2 Lesser Yellowlegs, 3 Solitary Sandpipers, 1 Spotted SP, 23
Semipalmated
Sandpipers, 13 Western SP, 385 Least SP and 2 Pectoral SP. The pits are the
driest I've ever seen them.
Good Birding!!!
