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.
