Had a few hours to kill today and found the following: TVA Lake - 1 Least
Bittern, it has been a while since I've seen one on lake during breeding
season. There is a pair not far away so this might be one of those, also 15
Black-b Whistlers, a pair of DC Cormorants plus lots of Least Terns.
At the "Pits": 2 Black-b Whistlers, B-n Stilts and Killdeer with young in
uncountable numbers, 233 Least Sandpipers, 1 Western, 1 Solitary, 3
Pectoral and 2 S-b Dowitchers.
On President's Island, I photographed an immature White Ibis while
checking out the Western Kingbirds, hybrids and Scissor-tailed Flycatchers.
No as hot today but.....................
Good Birding!!
