This afternoon at a farm pond on Bush Hog Blvd. in Washington County I located a good flock of shorebirds. The peeps were winning the ID battle so a closer look was needed. At close range the verdict was Westerns. Harassing the peeps were White-rumps and a few Semi-pal. Plovers. Upon retreat I saw Reece Jamerson had pulled in and he confirmed, from way back there, the Westerns and White-rumped. Here is the good stuff: . Green Heron - 1 Semi-palmated Plover - 3 Lesser Yellowlegs - 1 Spotted Sandpiper - 1 Western Sandpiper - 9 White-rumped Sandpiper - 4 Warbling Vireo - 2 (singing) Cedar Waxwing - 1 Baltimore Oriole -1 (male) .
