After our East Coast pelagic trip was cancelled, Jan Shaw
and I decided to do some West Coast birding. The West Coast
of Tennessee, of course.

We camped three days at Reelfoot Lake State Park. The dawn
songbird serenade here has to be heard to be belived.

The tires of my truck and the soles of our boots crunched
on a lot of gravel roads as we wandered about Dyer, Lake
and Obion counties searching for birds. Our efforts were
rewarded with great looks at lots of birds, including
Glossy Ibis, Fulvous and Black-bellied Whistling Ducks and
Tricolored Heron.

Last night our camp was at T.O. Fuller State Park, in
Shelby County. We birded the Riverport Rd. area yesterday
afternoon and this morning. Western Kingbirds and lots of
Black-necked Stilts, at the pits, were added to our list

It was a fine trip, filled with unforgettable memories,
shared with good friends.
