Location: TN 2 Mem, Maxson Wastewater Lagoons(The Pits)/Earth Complex Observation date: 5/11/07, 1145am-115pm Notes: Pair of Wilsons Phalaropes still hanging out on the big pit. Good amount of Stilted Sandpipers have joined the crowd along with the nesting Blk-necked Stilts. Spent most of my time watching these three larger specie birds. Seemed like less birds today maybe 1200+ or so, but then again it was hard to estimate all the peeps with something making alot of the birds edgy and taking flight every 15 minutes or so. Number of species: 20 Canada Goose 27 Mallard 14 Blue-winged Teal 5 Northern Bobwhite 2 Semipalmated Plover 18 Killdeer 21 Black-necked Stilt 43 Lesser Yellowlegs 19 Solitary Sandpiper 7 Semipalmated Sandpiper X Least Sandpiper X White-rumped Sandpiper 11 Pectoral Sandpiper X Stilt Sandpiper 17 Short-billed Dowitcher 1 Wilson's Phalarope 2 Mourning Dove 21 Dickcissel 2 Red-winged Blackbird X Eastern Meadowlark 2 John "Jay" Walko Collierville, Tn =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to SIGN YOUR MESSAGE with first and last name, CITY (TOWN) and state abbreviation.
