9 Sept. 2007 Got up to go birding at 5:30 but it was pouring rain. Finally rain ended and I got out about 8:45. 74º overcast Shorebird Unit: Blue-winged Teal flock had increased to about 250.When the Blue-wings spooked and started flying around I spotted a single Green-wing Teal. After things settled down again I spotted 2 Shovelers molting and several Mallards.
Lesser Yellowlegs Pectoral Sandpipers Least Sandpipers Hardy Slough:Flock of quail roosting a small tree. Among the Bobwhites were some of the same mutations I have seen three times now starting in August. The best I can do refer to them as Tennessee Reds except these have a white patch on the lower throat.
