Life is good at Blood River. The lake is the perfect level for shorebirds
and waders. I'd been wondering where the Great Egrets would go to roost. The
answer to the question for the Blood River birds is No where. The egrets,
herons, geese, shorebirds, eagles and kingfisher were all packed on the east
mud flat and the surrounding trees when it was too dark to see them anymore.
The only birds that left the area where Pectoral Sandpipers and they head
north/west.
There were hundreds of shorebirds today so I didn't try to count most
species.
