We took A late start to Eagle Bend, but still found some shorebirds. Seven Semi-palmated Plovers, lots of Lesser Yellowlegs, a couple of Spotted and Solitarys. We didn't find the breeding plumaged Stilt SP, but did find a rather drab one that was just molting with a few fresh feathers on it's back. We can't get that close to Norris without checking, even though it was after noon. We weren't disappointed. Lots of Red-eyed Vireos, at least 4 Orchard Orioles, male and female Baltimore Orioles, n. Parulas, a single American Redstart, Wood Thrushes singing, Chats chattering, White-eyed Vireos and just Lots of birds. Maybe our best day of birding since we moved to TN.
