A brief evening run down to the northern part of Finley NWR to look for the
Black-bellied Plovers previously reported by Will Wright and Pam Otley
yielded the following:
Finley Rd. Conservation Wetland:
45 Black-bellied Plovers (mostly in breeding plumage or transitional)
3 Killdeer
2 Solitary Sandpipers (FOY)
30 Greater Yellowlegs
31 Least Sandpipers
20 Dunlin
2 Wilson's Snipe
1 Sora
Prairie Overlook:
1 American Bittern (calling from a ways away to the SW)
1 Grasshopper Sparrow (at least 1, maybe 2 birds, singing to the SE of the
platform); seems very early for this species
Migration is shaping up nicely!
