We went out by canoe in the evening and got a look at the bottoms from the
river. We saw all the birds Rick reported, plus a few, with closer looks at
the peeps, and a nice close-up of the golden plover. Best find for us was a
first-of-the-year WHITE IBIS, a juvenile, in the midst of the 50+ great
egrets on the riverbank. Douglas Lake elevation is now 958 feet.
Our totals:
Black-bellied plover
Am. golden-plover
Semipalmated plover (4)
Killdeer (150+)
Greater yellowlegs (10)
Lesser yellowlegs (36)
Solitary sandpiper (4)
Willet
Spotted sandpiper (7)
Semipalmated sandpiper (4)
Western sandpiper (12)
Least sandpiper (15)
*unclassified peeps (10)
Pectoral sandpiper (15)
Buff-breasted sandpiper (7)
Short-billed dowitcher
