Melissa and I made a late afternoon trip to Fulton County. Standing at the
edge of Lake #9 before dark we saw several flocks of shorebirds on the move. A
few stopped, some moved on but it was evident that shorebirds are on the
move. Too bad the only remaining habitat in Fulton County is Lake #9.
Birds of interest were:
Wood Ducks
Northern Bobwhite
Great Egret - hundreds roosting at Lake #9
Snowy Egret
Cattle Egret - 100+
Little Blue Heron- 25
Lesser Yellowlegs - 4
Solitary Sandpipers - 6
Semipalmated Sandpiper -2
Least Sandpiper-10
Pectoral Sandpiper-15
Short-billed Dowitcher - 8
