Birders -
Cathy Nowak called me this morning (6/22, 7:50 am), reporting that she had
located 4 MARBLED GODWITS south of the Schoolhouse Pond. I arrived at the
Schoolhouse Pond a bit before 9 am and with a little patience, was able to
relocate the four MARBLED GODWITS. Cool birds, Cathy! Other Shorebirds
scattered around the mud flats included:
6 - WHITE-FACED IBIS (Adults with juveniles, I am certain they bred here
again!)
1 - SEMIPALMATED PLOVER (with an apparent injured right foot)
7 - PECTORAL SANDPIPER (a first for the year for me)
1 - calling juvenile SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER with 15 LONG-BILLEDS
Bunches of SPOTTED, WESTERN & LEAST SANDPIPERS, BLACK-NECKED STILTS,
WILSON'S & RED-NECKED PHALAROPES were present too.
According to eBird and our Listservs, it looks like shorebirds are showing
up in all available habitats around these parts, thanks in part to the
cooler July weather which recently hit.
Good Shorebirding,
