Thanks to everyone who contributed to making the TOS State Spring Meeting last 
weekend here in Memphis a great success!
The most outstanding birds were the male Yellow-headed Blackbird and the 
Harris's Sparrow.
Both were seen at Shelby Farms on Saturday and again on Sunday.
The Harris's was observed by 15 or more folks on Saturday, by a few on Sunday.
The Yellow-headed found by Dan and Laurie Mooney on Saturday afternoon.
They relocated the bird in a different spot in the park on Sunday;
subsequently, it was seen by perhaps 30 to 40 people.

Also, there was a Marbled Godwit seen at Ensley on Sunday.

I will attempt to list the species found for the weekend, and their locations, 
when known.
