There were 3 Willet on Dacus Bar in the AM but only one stayed for the
afternoon. At the pits a single Lark Sparrow was seen in the morning on the
levee
at the very back pit. Stilt Sandpipers had increased in numbers, all immature
but there was still only one Buff-breasted Sandpiper. This buffy has a
slightly droopy right wing but seems to fly with no apparent difficulty.
Very few immature Pectoral Sandpipers found in their numbers while the
percentage of young Lesser Yellowlegs, Least and Semipalmated are quite high.
Again, only 3 Western were found, all immature birds. Solitary Sandpiper
numbers
have turned downward and only 2 Spotted Sandpipers were seen. Only 15 Wind
Bird species for the weekend.
Good Birding !!!
