Twelve folks birded the Sauerheber Unit in Henderson County yesterday. Weather
was very nice with warm, sunny conditions all morning. We finally got kicked
out by rain showers about 400 pm. The marsh bird habitat was *great* but we
could only manage about 10 Soras and no bitterns. However, shorebirds put on a
pretty good show with 10 species including 5 Black-necked Stilts, several
hundred Lesser Yellowlegs and Pectoral Sandpipers, a few Least, Dunlin and
Long-billed Dowitchers, and a single Stilt Sandpiper. Decent numbers of
dabbling ducks still around, too, including both teal, Gadwall, and Northern
Shoveler. Nice to see and hear the returning songbirds including Prothonotary
Warblers; I think Bald Eagle was the most commonly seen raptor in the sky.
