Sauerheber Shorebird Unit: growing up in vegetation -- no shorebirds
Slough along north side of KY 268 west of the WMA: many fewer birds; yesterday
was why I call it "Semi" Slough ... 50 scattered Semi Plovers; 12 Semi Sands; a
couple of Leasts and a couple of Spotteds.
Slough along east side of Horseshoe Road, farther out west of the end of KY
136: I've had nice flocks of shorebirds out here in the past, but usually after
floodwaters are receding. Yesterday there was one nice group on the one slough
there including 70+ Semi Plovers, sev Killdeer; 2 Spotted Sps; 1 Gr Yellowlegs;
2 Les Yellowlegs; 2 gorgeous Ruddy Turnstones; 90+ Semi Sps; 10+ Least Sps; 54+
Dunlin (some that glowed red, white and black!); 4 Stilt Sps (2 in seemingly
immaculate plumage); and 41+ S-b Dowitchers (including one of the dull eastern
race).
