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.
