First Birding Trip in 2018

   We made an afternoon birding trip to Riverport Road in Memphis, Tennessee. This was our first birding trip of 2018. It was cool and clear. We met another birder at the tailing pond. There is a lot of activity near the Intermodal facility south of Electrolux, so we had to dodge large trucks as we birded there.

   Here is a list of the birds we saw. We did watch a beaver swimming toward his lodge in one of the ponds on the south side of Riverport.

  • Mourning Dove
  • Brown Headed Cowbird
  • Northern Mockingbird
  • American Robin
  • Killdeer
  • Easter Bluebird
  • Pied Billed Grebe
  • Ring necked Duck
  • Canada Goose
  • Gadwall
  • Rock Dove
  • Red Winged Black Bird
  • Mallard
  • Red Shouldered Hawk
  • Hooded Merganser
  • Great Blue heron
  • European Starling
  • American Kestrel
  • Common Ground Dove
