A trip to the sod farm on Saturday with Chattanooga TOS was disappointing
as the area was too dry to attract shorebirds. After last night's heavy
rain I decided to try again and was rewarded by two Willets feeding in one
of the areas where sod had been stripped. They flushed while I was watching
them, and I was unable to locate them again. Other shorebirds included
Lesser Yellowlegs, Solitary, Spotted, Pectoral and Killdeer. There were
also 11 Bank Swallows with the many Barn and Cliff Swallows.
