Ensley Bottoms, Shelby Co TN
I had about 45 minutes to "waste" at the pits. I saw only one Western
Kingbird to the east of the Steam Plant. These birds may have brought off young
and
as usual fled the Shrike stronghold for safer areas.
There are Black-necked Stilts everywhere with 20 obvious nests and I'm sure
more hidden. The young from the first nesting are almost the size of the adults
already but their huge knees give them away. There will be new arrivals soon
and nest building will continue into August hopefully.
There were 6 White-rumped Sandpipers on the flats. Five were nervously flying
around while one fed by itself. This bird had lost its left leg below the
joint.
Good Birding!!!
