Killdeer - 20+ Least Sandpipers - 8-10 Short-billed Dowitchers - 2 Lesser Yellowlegs - 1 Stilt Sandpiper - 1 Pectoral Sandpipers - 3 Solitary Sandpiper - 1I got there at 8am. Around 9 am something really spooked them. After that time they spooked several times....each time not all that had been present would come back. I looked high and low for what might have set them off (like the "Bad Boy Peregrine") but never found anything. I left around 10:30 and the Stilt, Pectorals, and Greater Yellowlegs were not around. I don't know if they left or were just hiding along the edges.
There were also plenty of Little Green Herons but only 1 Great Blue Heron.
At home, I'm proud to report that my Red-headed Woodpeckers returned again. I've counted 3 adults and 2 juveniles although there may be more.....just what I've been able to see at the same time. Last year I had 4 adults and 3 juveniles.
I'll probably post some images later this evening. I haven't had a chance to download them yet as I'm trying to set up a new laptop.
