The lake has receded enough that mudflats are once again appearing, making
better shorebird habitat. There were many shorebirds today but while we were
trying to survey them they were moving around a lot and a flyby Bald Eagle did
not help matters. It was a situation where a person could have set up a
spotting scope and spent several hours surveying them. Also many of the
shorebirds were very far from the road making matters more difficult. We
covered about half the area today and ran out of time or the count would have
been better. It was very windy and cloudy early on but as the day progressed
things improved. We identified 15 species of shorebirds and we did see one
Black-necked Stilt. There were 75 Franklin's Gull sitting off the end of
Plover with very nice pink undersides. We only found one specie of warbler and
that was two Northern Parulas singing at the end of the road to Meadow Pond
near the creek. There were also Pileated Woodpeckers drumming at that
location. We saw wood Ducks at Meadow Pond, Deaver Pond and Dead Woman Pond.
Quite a few American White Pelicans were scattered around at different places.
We finished the morning with 75 species.
