The pond on Torvend Road west of Silverton had 22 GREATER YELLOWLEGS poking in
the mud on the upper water level at north end of the pond today as we went by
in early afternoon. Looked in vain for a smaller cousin.
Many ducks and waterfowl in the flooded pond: CINNAMON TEAL, Green-winged Teal,
Wigeon, Wood Ducks, Mallards, Ring-necked... Some Pied-billed Grebes and Canada
Geese (along w/ "Goosie Lucy/Gus" the domestic that loves the wild group and is
usually in the area). Didn't note any DC Cormorants today but a sizeable group
has been there the past week.
Also had 58 LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS in the same pond a few days ago. Shorebirds
on the move. Good groups for small ponds in out-of-the-way places.
Good Birding to All of You,
John Thomas
5 m NE of Silverton
