[birdky] Cooley's Ponds, Wayne County

I checked out Thurston's and Cooley's Ponds today. Thurston's appears to have some fairly good habitat, but no shorebirds were found. A couple of Cooley's Ponds on the west side of Mystic View Road are practically dry with only a few puddles and mostly mud. The "main" pond on the east side has a little habitat. 

Shorebirds identified:
Wilson's Phalarope 1 (on the main pond) It and a few other shorebirds were being harassed by a Cooper's Hawk. 
Killdeer approx. 25
Semipalmated Plover 2
Lesser Yellowlegs 5
Pectoral Sandpiper 10+
Least Sandpiper 5
Semipalmated Sandpiper 2
Solitary Sandpiper 1

Birding smiles . . . . .
