Cocklebur and Mud Lake
Shelby Co. TN
 
The first trip down the levee produced nothing but a return late in the  
afternoon produced 14 immature White Ibis and 6 Wood Storks. The birds flew in 
 from the west, out of Cocklebur Lake area and east over Mud Lake. I think 
they  settled in the east end of Mud Lake but could not see them through the 
trees.  The Mississippi River is still high and these birds were probably 
just coming to  roost early but the water is still too high in these two 
areas for them to  forage, the open trees make for good roosting sites as in 
years past.
