It may have been the hottest day yet this summer in Fulton County. The
birds and I were struggling to keep cool. I gave up at noon when the heat
shimmers were so bad that I could no longer tell a duck from a shorebird.
Upper Hickman bottoms are already close to dry with a few puddles remaining.
There were more birds than I could count due to the heat shimmers.
Great Egret
Killdeer - hundreds
Black-Necked Stilt - 2
Greater Yellowlegs - 6
Lesser Yellowlegs
Solitary Sandpiper
Spotted Sandpiper
Least Sandpiper
Pectoral Sandpiper
Blue-winged Teal - 6
Lower Hickman bottoms, some pools almost gone, some still holding a good bit
of water:
Great Egret - 50+
Snowy Egret - 1
Mississippi Kite - 8 all soaring over the levee
Bald Eagle - 2
Semipalmated Plover - 1
Killdeer - hundreds
Black-necked Stilt - 1 adult and 3 young, I was glad to see all three chicks
are still healthy and almost ready to move if they need to.
Semipalmated Sandpiper - 12
Least Sandpiper - 80
White-rumped Sandpiper - 1
Pectoral Sandpiper - 4
Short-billed Dowitcher - 2
Red-headed Woodpecker
Fish Crow
Horned Lark
Dickcissel - still singing their song
NO Least Terns were seen!
