Made a quick check of Mitchell Lake this afternoon before work. The
lake level is up and little good habitat remains. All the birds were on
the north end and are most easily viewed by walking in from the duck
trap station. Highlights include:
Great egret 3
Blue-w teal 40+
Green-w teal
Mallards
Killdeer 10
Semi plover 1
Least sandpiper 30
Pectoral sandpiper 2
Stilt sandpiper 1
Lesser yellowlegs 5
Greater yellowlegs 8
Also of note were at least 30 fish crows kettling up on a thermal above
Mitchell until they were out of sight and hearing. They may not be back
anytime soon. Enjoyed seeing a Rose-br grosbeak in the yard when I
returned home.
