With all the stormy weather around (but Junction managed to miss all the rain
again) I decided to check the wastewater ponds late today. Shorebirds included:
Wilson's Phalarope (50)
Baird's Sandpiper (15)
White-rumped Sandpiper (6-8)
Least Sandpiper (5)
Western Sandpiper (2-3 but could have been more)
Pectoral Sandpiper (5)
Lesser Yellowlegs (4)
Spotted Sandpiper (3)
Also observed 4 Black Terns in breeding plummage---birds I don't see here
often.
State Park was slow today---didn't see a single warbler at Lora's Blind, which
has been the best one. Did not see Varied Bunting on the hill today but this
species can be easily missed. I think earlier in the morning would be better as
an out-of-town birder got great photo's of the bird at 7:00 a.m. one morning
this past weekend.
Tomorrow could be better with unsettled weather still on-going.
