Great news, all of the normally open roads in the refuge are open once again.
The day started out rainy and we decided to go down Wildlife Dr. first to look
for Hudsonian Godwits. That turned out to be a great decision because before
we went less than 100 yards we saw three Ruddy Turnstones in the middle of the
road. We were able to get very close affording good looks for all, with photo
ops. 5 more Ruddy Turnstones were seen on Plover Pad Rd. Some of the
turnstones were observed doing what turnstones do, turning stones over looking
for invertebrates.This was the first turnstones reported at the refuge in more
than five years.On down the road across from Moist Soil unit 7 we found the
Hudsonian Godwits along with 5 American Avocets, Wilson's Phalaropes, Stilt
Sandpipers, 2 Semipalmated Plovers along with White-rumped Sandpipers, and
Semipalmated Sandpipers. We journeyed up Silliman Rd.and found an American
Bittern with an injured wing. It appeared he would be unable to fly. We then
found Yellow-headed Blackbirds on Egret Pad. We also saw a Peregrine Falcon
sitting in a tree near Harris Creek. We saw 52 Black Terns and one Caspian
Tern. We found a total of 5 Greater Roadrunners and watched as one fed a lizard
to another one, probably part of a courtship behavior. We finished the day with
a total of 102 species.
