I birded Pond Creek Marsh, Wood Tract south, and Shorebird Unit.
A part of Wood Tract south has been tilled, but there is still a lot of
shorebird habitat remaining.
Highlights:
FOS Dunlin
FOS Broad-winged Hawk
FOS Great-crested Flycatcher
FOS Warbling Vireo
FOS Red-eyed Vireo
FOS Semipalmated Plover
4 imm. Bald Eagles roosted together at Pond Creek Marsh
When I looked at Shorebird Unit on the 20th there were a lot of Lesser
Yellowlegs along with the Great Egret and Black-necked Stilt. Today no Lesser
Yellowlegs, no Great Egret, no Black-necked Stilt. Looks like the stilt and
egret moved on and the Lesser Yellowlegs all moved to Wood Tract south.
There were so many Lesser Yellowlegs at Wood Tract south that eBird flagged the
number, but I’m sticking with 500. There were A Lot!
I saw no Greater Yellowlegs.
