West TN.
Once a camel gets its nose under the edge of the tent you can't stop him
from coming in; so here comes fall shorebird migration. Sunday, in Dyer Co,
off the Great River Road, 6 scattered Least Sandpipers and another 3 at
White Lake. In Lake Co, north of 103 highway, 3 Least, a single Lesser
Yellowlegs and a Spotted Sandpiper. Farther up the road on the east side of
Mud
Lake, 7 Least Sandpipers and a single Solitary. While viewing three Neotropic
Cormorants at Lake #9 in KY, another Solitary Sandpiper was flushed.
Coming through Dyer and Lake Counties, I counted 19 immature Black-necked
Stilts. A pair of male Shoveler Ducks were seen at Mud lake in Lake Co.
Monday at the "Pits" in Memphis, 9 Least Sandpipers, 3 Lesser Yellowlegs
and a Spotted Sandpiper. A pair of male Blue-winged Teal are still hanging
around, are mates nested nearby??
Good Birding!!
