Hi Everybody,
Took a quick trip to the Beta Dr pond area south of Albany this morning to
check up on shorebirds primarily. I first scoped the extensive field areas
south of the pond and found 3 LONG-BILLED CURLEWs way down at the south end of
the field about quarter of a mile south of the pond. They were walking in and
out of the dirt clods kicked up by the plowing tractor active in the field. My
guess is the other 3 were there too, just couldn't see them because of the
clods. The pond itself was pretty devoid of shorebirds, I found only a couple
KILLDEER and a few WESTERN SANDPIPERS. All the goodies from the last few days
have disappeared from the area :)
Jeff
