Hi all,
4 ponds were drained this weekend, and a few shorebirds were present.
2 immature Little Blue Herons remain near the oxbow pond. I also had
an immature little blue in the shallow flats area near twin knobs. I
also noticed migrants in good numbers for the first time this fall at
Minor Clark. Highlights included Chestnut-sided Warbers, Bay-breasted
Warbler, Blackburnian Warbler, and Yellow-throated vireo. Common
breeders such as Yellow Warbler, Red-eyed vireo, Scarlet tanager, and
others were also very prevalent and appeared to be starting to move.
Shorebirds on Sunday:
12 Semipalmated Plover
20 Killdeer
5 Spotted Sandpiper
3 Solitary Sandpiper
5 Semipalmated Sandpiper
2 Baird's Sandpiper
4 Pectoral Sandpiper
Mike Wright also found 3 Northern Shoveler on one of the ponds near
the main entrance, they were there Monday as well.
Shorebirds on Monday:
8 Semipalmated Plover
15 Killdeer
4 Spotted Sandpiper
1 Solitary Sandpiper
1 Lesser Yellowlegs
8 Semipalmated Sandpiper
1 Western Sandpiper
2 Least Sandpiper
4 Baird's Sandpiper
8 Pectoral Sandpiper
Good birding,
Brian Wulker
