Robert Dever and I poked around western Henderson County for awhile this
afternoon. About the only place with many birds was the slough on the east
side of Horseshoe Road. Today all of the same waterfowl were present EXCEPT
the Mottled Duck, which had been replaced by, of all things, a Surf Scoter!
There has also been a female Lesser Scaup on this body of water.
Shorebirds there were again numerous and varied with the following minimum
totals counted:
17 Black-bellied Plovers
6 Killdeer
100+ Semi Plovers
3 Les Yellowlegs
3 Spotted Spipers
8 Ruddy Turnstones
120+ Semi Spipers
2 Least Spipers
4 White-rumped Spipers
2 Stilt Spipers
10 Short-billed Dowitcher (1 eastern bird still there)
60 Dunlin
We also saw a Eurasian Collared-Dove near the town of Waverly and had 9 more
Black-bellied Plovers and 4 Least Terns at Peabody's Camp No 9 coal prep
plant in Union County.
On return home early evening, the drying slough between US 41 and Ellis Park
Racetrack had a nice collection of shorebirds including a Greater
Yellowlegs, 50+ Semi Plovers, 40 Dunlin, a Ruddy Turnstone, 2 White-rumps,
and 60+ Semi Sps along with a few Spottys and Least.
