ASK went out to Minor Clark Fish Hatchery to see what we could find for
shorebirds. Had a decent mix with 10 species (Simpalmated Plover and Killdeer,
Spotted, Solitary, Stilt, Least, Pectoral, Semipalmated Sandpipers Short-billed
Dowitcher and one Wilson's Snipe). Also had a nice mix of raptors (Osprey,
Bald Eagle, Red-tailed Hawk, and a Merlin). The Merlin was flagged by eBird, so
it was nice that Roseanna Denton was there to confirm it! The Black Terns were
still present as well and managed a couple of warblers, Yellow-throated and
Chat.
Great day to be out, but it was hot.
