I had the opportunity to bird in west TN yesterday and spent most of my time at 
the Pits.  A few Dunlin and Short-billed Dowitchers around.  Best bird was a 
Krider&#x27;s Red-tailed Hawk, which is a cool looking bird.  It was even more 
exciting before I figured out exactly what it was.  Not too much happening on 
the Mississippi River while I was there.  A distant raft of Coots. Looked 
through the doves on Presidents Is, but just the 2 expected species. There was 
a leucistic collared dove mixed in. On my way out of town I stopped by Hatchie 
NWR which was quiet except for all the detour traffic from the highway.  Three 
Horned Grebes and a small convention of Pied-billed Grebes and a hand full of 
Am Wigeon.  I am headed to Big Sandy. Sorry I missed Mike Todd and Terry Witt 
out there yesterday.
