18 Willets. Sorry but I didn't have a good bird book with me to seperate
into western/eastern, as I was not in my own vehicle. A brief look at a
female Wilson's Phalarope in breeding plumage. The first I have ever seen
in breeding plumage! Beautiful bird! Shorebirds were in scattered groups
and mostly skittish and composed of mostly yellowlegs, pectorals, and
least. Also had one Caspian amongst them but had seen 11 late last week.
The willets must have just come in from a long flight as they were napping
or preening and didn't pay us any attention yet we were only 50 yards away.
Unfortunately it appears the bottoms will be going under this weekend as
epic flooding on the Ohio and Miss. Rivers will contribute to KY and Barkley
Lakes backing up due to reduced releases. Much of Cross Creeks and TN NWR
will probably close down in the next few days. Check Refuge web sites for
road closures.
