MCELROY
Previously reported waterfowl and grebes including the Surf Scoter.
Double-crested Cormorant (2)
Bald Eagle (An adult chased coots for a good 20 minutes at the north end before
making a kill. When I left if was finishing its meal)
Peregrine Falcon (adult fly-over northbound)
Minimum numbers of shorebirds present:
Black-bellied Plover (1)
Semipalmated Plover (110)
Killdeer (didn't count)
Greater Yellowlegs (10)
Lesser Yellowlegs (300)
Solitary Sandpiper (6)
Willet (14)
Spotted Sandpiper (8)
Upland Sandpiper (1 fly-over calling)
Western Sandpiper (8)
Least Sandpiper (75)
Pectoral Sandpiper (25)
Dunlin (1)
Long-billed Dowitcher (28)
Wilson's Snipe (4)
Also present were a Ring-billed Gull, all swallow species, Grasshopper
Sparrows, and 250-300 American Pipits.
Other birds of interest today included a single Long-billed Dowitcher and a few
yellowlegs at Walton's Pond. A pair of Lark Sparrows was observed along Vance
Road, and I began the day with a fly-over flock of 15 Bobolinks at the house.
I did not see the Ruff today but it may still be present as birds were
difficult to observe in the vegetation at the south end.
