April 26, 2008 Ensley Bottoms Frayser Area Shelby Co. TN Had my FOS Bobolink, Dickcissel and Lincoln's Sparrow at Ensley, along with 3 Mississippi Kites. The young Bald Eagles now look large enough to leave the nest. I searched for Upland Sandpiper and Western Kingbirds at Ensley with no luck, but found a singing Western Kingbird at the Harvester site in Frayser along with a silent bird feeding in a nearby field, both appear to be full blooded Western Kingbirds, the hybrids usually show up later. A third bird was found off Levee Road. Good Birding !!! Jeff R.
