The best birds for the day were the 3 immature Wilson's Phalarope that
spent the morning padding around on the mud but then at another pool, in flew
two more, one immature female but much farther along in molt and a molting
adult male, also a fresh plumaged juvenile Stilt Sandpiper, another first
of season young.
I photographed all the young Black-bellied Whistling Ducks today. The
Dirty Dozen have already learned to V - up but I'm afraid they got it
backwards. Nine adult Black-bellied Whistlers were all hanging out together and
were
continually looking up and calling; they may be thinking about going south.
The shorebirds and even the doves on President's Island kept looking
up........something was traveling today but too far up for my old eyes.
