Dear All,
I thought I would add that there were no pipits of any kind to be found at 2 pm
when I arrived. Paul fortunately spotted the Red-throated Pipit at about 3:20
pm and then within 10 minutes or so after that a small flock of about 9 or so
American Pipits showed up. I heard an American Pipit fly over the mudflats
somewhere around 3:10 pm or so. In any case, if you don't see or hear any
pipits when you first arrive it may pay off to hang around for a while since
the pipits could show up later. Exactly where the flock of American Pipits and
the Red-throated Pipit was between 2 pm and 3:20 pm is unclear to me. I
certainly couldn't find them on any of the mudflats during that period of time.
There was also a MERLIN flying around the lake when I arrived and it may have
spooked the pipits before I arrived. I didn't see any major field marks that
would suggest Pechora Pipit as I was studying the Red-throated Pipit in the
scope. A GREAT EGRET was also present at the lake.
Sincerely,
Tim Janzen
