Today I stopped at the Lower River Rd Pool to look for the solitary sandpiper
seen several times recently and had no luck.. I did find three American pipits
though.
The corn fields along Lower River rd have started attracting migrating geese.
Today as I was in the area watching the river ( this morning) Cackling geese
and lesser Canada geese began descending on the fields. When i left there were
around 2000 cacklers and 500 lesser Canada geese near Frenchman's Bar.
At Shillipo WMA, NW Erwin O Rieger Mem Hwy, i found 92 American white pelicans
forging in a wetland also 78 sandhill cranes nearby and another 450 cackling
geese came in. Along the rd i found large numbers of cedar waxwing, American
goldfinch and E. starlings feeding on blackberries. Also of note a Wilson's
and yellow-rumped warbler also a fox sparrow.
I also found large numbers of American widgeon and lesser numbers of northern
pintail on Post Office Lake, Ridgefield NWR at the end of Lower River Road.
