August 29, 03 Shelby Bottoms Nashville, Davidson Co. Frank Fekel, Mark Hackney, and I birded the shorebird pond in phase 1 of Shelby Bottoms this morning. We were hoping to add the Virginia Rail seen there yesterday to Frank's TN list, but the bird decided to stay hidden. Instead, we found the following shorebirds: Least Sandpiper - 4 Pectoral Sandpiper - 1 Solitary Sandpiper - 1 Spotted Sandpiper - 1 A Louisiana Waterthrush was also seen.
