Mud Island, Ensley Bottoms and Mud Lake.
Memphis, Shelby Co. TN
Saturday, on the sand bar out from Mud Island there were 7 -Black, 2 Common
and 25+ Least Terns plus a few scattered shorebird species. On Sunday, the
Common Terns had left Mud Island but Mike Todd and I found another at Mud
Lake.
Shorebirds on the sandbars included, Black-necked Stilts, Pectoral, Least,
Semipalmated, Killdeer, Semipalmated Plover, Pectoral, Solitary and Spotted.
On Sunday, there was an Osprey hunting the river at Mud Island and we found 7
Mississippi Kites doing acrobatics around the high-rise buildings downtown.
We could ferret out nothing new at the pits shorebird wise and decided to
look for waders at Mud and Cocklebur Lakes on the MS/TN line. Here in TN, we
counted over 750 Great Egrets, only 1 Snowy Egret, a few dozen Great Blue
Herons
and FOUR Anhinga (2 adult, 2 immature) plus the Common Tern being harassed
by Rough-winged Swallows.
Good Birding !!!
