FreeLists / birdky / [birdky] Minor Clark Fish Hatchery - Sanderling

[Lana Hays <lhays2@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I visited the fish hatchery this morning from 8:30 until 12:30.    
While there I had the pleasure of meeting Steve Sweeney and Neil  
Smith from Adams Co, OH.

Overall it was a slow morning.  When I first started the shorebirds  
were in Pond #56.   Later in the morning they moved to pond #16 and a  
few in #15.   The best bird was a Sanderling in Pond #15 that  
appeared around 10:30.   He remained there for quite awhile but flew  
off with some Killdeer and did not return to that pond or #16.   He  
still may be in one of the other ponds.

Shorebirds:
White-rumped Sandpiper (again he spent time up against the rocks and  
did blend in well when away from them)
Western Sandpiper (I'm pretty sure that it was him again but I didn't  
see him when I left.....I'll check my images)
Least Sandpipers
Semipalmated Plovers
Semipalmated Sandpipers
Killdeer
Sanderling

I also saw a one female American Wigeon duck with some of the mallards.

I'll post the Sanderling images and hopefully better White-rumped  
images later this afternoon.
