Ensley Bottoms
President's Island
Shelby Co. TN
I had counted over 800 Wind Birds, a crop duster and a Peregrine disrupted
the count but the numbers would approach 1,000 today. Mostly Least with
large groups of Semipalmated Sandpipers in the mix. I had 16 Westerns before
the Peregrine streaked through. Most of the Westerns were well along in molt
but some still retained many red based scaps for a touch of color. The
American Coot with the bad wing welcomed the much needed water in its pool.
The pair of Gadwall in the wetlands along Riverport Road can fly but just
barely as both have wing injuries.
A quick run around President's Island produced 5 adult Western Kingbirds
and 3 young of the year. Mississippi Kites were seen in good numbers over
the woods there and more flying over many main throughways across the city
today.
Good Birding !!!
