Yesterday, (May 23) Glen Criswell, Betty and I birded western Dyer County and northern Lake County. It is fairly dry in this area. The only shorebird habitat was at White Lake and along 103 just east of Great River Road. There is a fair amount of water in White Lake and we had 6 Dunlin, 20 White-rumped Sandpipers, 40 Semipalmated Sandpipers, 16 Pectoral, 5 Semipalmated Plovers, 1 Stilt Sandpiper and 5 Least. We also had a good mixture of land birds. Of most interest was a female Anhinga which stayed in the same area all the while we were there. In May and June of last year we regularly had a female Anhinga in the same area.
