Benwood Lake AR
The lake is drying fast, shorebird numbers also following trend. Only 15
Avocets, 1 Black-bellied Plover, still good numbers of L-b Dowitcher,
Dunlin, Killdeer, Least Sandpipers, many Greater Yellowlegs with fewer Lesser,
1
Western Sandpiper, 6 Stilt Sandpipers but maybe more on far side. Many more
ducks now crowding in with the geese, including a new group of 9
Canvasbacks.
Twenty-one Ring-billed Gulls and a single Franklin's, fewer sparrows but
the patch is continually hunted by the raptors so my short time many have
had them hunkered.
Just playing catch up with a few photos from Benwood Lake and points east
in TN.
