Robinson Bayou Road, Lake County
April 21 2-3 pm
After searching in vain for an ibis today, I checked out the flooded fields at
Robinson Bayou Road. The godwits were nowhere to be seen, but several other
goodies were around:
Black-Necked Stilt-30
Wilson's Phalarope-2
Least Sandpiper-2
Pectoral Sandpiper-dozens
Lesser Yellowlegs-100 is conservative
Greater Yellowlegs-30 is conservative
Long-Billed Dowitcher-400? large flocks everywhere
Sanderling-1 spotted near the intersection, and another birder agreed on the
ID after I showed him
ducks were Blue-Winged Teal, Northern Shoveler, Gadwall, Mallard, and one
Red-Breasted Merganser female
I didn't take the time to count each species as I had other places to visit.
