A good shower just passed through west Knoxville and brought some nice 
shorebirds with it to the retention pond outside my office window.

2 Lesser Yellowlegs
2 Pectoral Sandpipers
1 Solitary Sandpiper 

in that order.  All circled but apparently kept going without landing.

1-3 Spotted Sandpipers have been present daily since 16 July.  The Great 
Egret numbers peaked at 3 on 22 July which is also the last day I saw 
them.  And 2 Yellow Warblers have been working the redbuds the last couple 
of days as well.

Other local notes, I had an E Wood-Pewee in the yard this morning.  And it 
looks like the Barn Swallow roost at the Food City retention pond on 
Middlebrook Pike may be back this year... I had about 50 birds there 
around 8:30PM a few days ago.
