Shorebirding Sauvie Island this morning, Aug. 7. West Side at The Narrows on
Sturgeon Lake had about 200 peeps. Saw at least one Semipalmated Sandpiper
among the Least & Westerns. Whole herd scattered by low-flying Peregrine
Falcon. Birds too far away & too much sun glare for good viewing at The Wash
but could count two dozen American White Pelican. When leaving the unit saw one
Greater Yellowlegs.
On the East Side had nothing along Rentenaar Road. Another (or the same)
Peregrine Falcon also checked it out. Flushed a mixed flock of over 100 Great
Egrets & Great Blue Herons off Racetrack Lake. Left only a few stranded carp &
no shorebirds.
