As a result the Ol' Coot's reports of the current mass migration of
shorebirds along the Mississippi, Saturday and Sunday I visited the
manmade lake in Bellevue that is next to the Harpeth River at the
corner of Old Harding and Morton Mill Road.  It is a heck of a lot 
shorter drive for me than a visit to the Pits, but the rewards are
limited!

On Saturday I was pleasantly surprised to see a bit of mud flats and
the following birds despite heavy equipment removing dirt right next
to the lake.

Solitary Sandpiper 1
Least Sandpiper  2
Semipalmated Sandpiper 1

On Sunday the mix changed slightly

Solitary Sandpiper 2
Least Sandpiper 2
