Thanks to Gail King for reporting these birds on tnbirds yesterday. The
White Ibis, Snowy Egrets and Little Blue Herons were still there this
morning. Below is the list for the Riverport Rd. Sloughs where they can be
found. For those wishing to see but unfamiliar with the area, this is near
the pits at Ensley Bottoms and the TVA Ponds, both excellent birding areas
in southwest Memphis, especially as the shorebirds are moving through.
