May 27, 2011 President's Island Shelby Co. TN A White-w Dove was found on Channel Street in front of the Tem-Co Tractor Building. It flew across the road and landed out of sight. Also on the Island, a single nesting of Scissor-tails and 4 nests of Western Kingbirds, one included a second generation hybrid paired with a male Western Kingbird. Five other Western Kingbird nests, in the industrial area just off the Island, in southwest Memphis, are active. I've not seen any evidence of nesting near or around the TVA Steam Plant yet. In other areas in north Memphis, I've seen birds on or near old nest sites and will get into those areas to nail down nests maybe this week, after they open a few more roads in flooded areas. Good Birding!! Jeff R. Wilson / TLBA 6300 Memphis-Arlington Road Bartlett, TN 38135 http://www.pbase.com/ol_coot/ What is this feathered thing that lifts my heart to the heavens.
