I tried to post this last night but I had troubles connecting so here it goes again... There are still several good birds around along the Great River Road in Dyer & Lake Counties. There were several birders in the area yesterday including Jeff Wilson, Daniel & Kathy Jacobson, Mike Todd, Don Manning, Ken & Betty Leggett, Michael Hegathorn, Andy Sigler, Hap Chambers, and myself. Andy found 2 Black-bellied Whistling Ducks on Hwy. 79W in Lake Co. yesterday morning. They were not seen again until late yesterday afternoon when Jeff foundd 4 near that same location. They were seen in the first water area on the left going west on Hwy 79W after you cross the levee. Jeff also found several shorebird species in the area late yesterday afternoon. Other birds still in the area were: numerous Black-necked Stilts up and down the Great River Road, 2 White Ibis seen flying over the GRR near the Lake/Dyer Co. line, American White Pelicans on GRR, Scissor-tailed Flycatchers on Hurd Loop Road in Dyer Co., a single, late Savannah Sparrow on Hurd Loop Road, and the Bell's Vireo at Black Bayou Refuge in Lake Co. Mississippi Kites were again putting on a show near Black Bayou yesterday morning with over 30 birds seen diving and eating dragonflies and calling constantly. I'm sure Jeff will be in the area most of the day today so if anyone wants to try to come and see any of these birds call Jeff on his cell phone at 901-487-8521 and he will try his best to put you on them. Good birding, Mark Greene Trenton, TN =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to sign your messages with first and last name, city (town) and state abbreviation. ----------------------------------------------------- To post to this mailing list, simply send email to: tn-bird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to: tn-bird-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Topographical Maps located at http://topozone.com/find.asp * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the Tennessee Ornithological Society web site at http://www.tnbirds.org * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TN-Bird Net Owner: Wallace Coffey, Bristol, TN jwcoffey@xxxxxxxxxx (423) 764-3958 =========================================================
