Hi all,
There only only a few shorebirds hanging out in the mist at Minor Clark on
Friday... and most of them were sleeping in the rocky edges of the drained
ponds so they weren't as obvious as other times so I might have missed
something. The best bird of the day was a raptor, a male Merlin flew over,
scared up a group of Blue-winged Teal, and found a perch on a chain-link
fence along the edge of the big ponds where he remained for the entire time
I was there.

Semipalmated Plover         1
Killdeer                             17
Pectoral Sandpiper            15
Least Sandpiper                1
Semipalmated Sandpiper   1
Solitary Sandpiper             1
Wilson's Snipe                  1

As for migrant song birds, there were some decent birds out today.  Various
migrants around Daniel Boone National Forest seen were:

Magnolia Warbler
Tennessee Warbler
Black-throated Green Warbler
American Redstart
Bay-breasted Warbler
Nashville Warbler
Canada Warbler
Wilson's Warbler
Yellow-throated Vireo
Red-eyed Vireo
Warbling Vireo
Swainson's Thrush



Good Birding,
Brian Wulker
