It's That Time....................
I had to pick up some stone Friday and of course instead of just driving  
straight through to the stone yard in Shelby Farms, I meandered. I found 2  
Uplands in one location along the road to the Senior Gardens and a single 
along  the east/west farm road. As last year, they have DRAINED the waterfowl 
flooded  field on the east side of Shelby Farms just when the shorebirds had 
started  coming through in numbers. So much for eco-planning.
 
With this weather front passing tonight and the good weather  predicted 
this week, there should be numbers of Uplands to be found in  the locations 
around the Ag-fields and the old dump site in Shelby Farms plus  the Ensley 
Bottom fields, also along the levees in MS, and in their regular  haunts in 
DeSoto, Tunica Co's MS and Crittenden Co. AR. Golden-Plovers are still  passing 
through but last Sunday and the weekend before, huge numbers  were seen in 
DeSoto Co. MS and along Bobwhite Road in Crittenden Co. AR, at  their 
traditional stopping places. May their wonderful wolf whistle call  greet you; 
Seek and Ye Shall Find......................
 
Good Birding  !!!
