On Saturday, the pits produced 7 White-rumped Sandpipers and 2 late running
Semipalmated Sandpipers. On Sunday the Semi's had cleared out but there were
19 White-rumped Sandpipers. You can expect small pulses of White-rumped for
a little while yet.
The nest of a pair of Black-necked Stilts, that I had expected to hatch
young this week did not disappoint, as mom had 2 feeding along the edge of one
pool. I never saw more than the two kids and they did not look more than a day
or so old. There may have been more as dad was staying close to the bank at
another location and was pretty agitated. There are stilt nest strewn all over
the place and there should be youngsters everywhere shortly. I watched as a
jilted female interrupted another pair, smack dab in the middle of their
romance dance. Evidently humans don't have a lock on jealousy.
The Killdeer in just one pit numbered 168 and were joined by 2 Horned Larks
and a ton of pseudo shorebirds, Starlings.
Good Birding !!!
