TN – birders, This post is to supplement the earlier post I sent today in order to tell folks about the Dunlin Dollyann & I found today at Eagle Bend fish hatchery on the east side of Clinton, Anderson Co. A more complete list of the more interesting species found today is as follows: Wood Duck – 1 female with 17 chicks in tow...way cute! Blue-winged Teal – 5 Red-breasted Merganser – the same female that was originally found on May 5th. Semipalmated Plover – 8 Solitary Sandpiper – 11 Lesser yellowlegs – 14 Semipalmated sandpiper – 4 Least Sandpiper – 31 Dunlin – 1 breeding plumaged adult. Stilt Sandpiper – 1; this is yet another individual; different from the one we saw on Saturday and different yet again from the original one we saw last Wednesday. Bank Swallow – 1; second time we have seen this species here in the past couple of weeks; nesting nearby??? Bobolink – 3 females; we had an adult male on the North American Migration Count here on Saturday, but no females. Great birding, Ron Hoff & Dollyann Myers Clinton, TN
