"Lingering shorebirds in Walworth ... Count[y]" - ???
I didn't know shorebirds still existed in Walworth County!!! I thought they
were forever extirpated from here!!!
This was easily the worst spring shorebirding year I've ever had in se WI.
I didn't even see a Greater Yellowlegs or a Pectoral Sandpiper or a
Semiplamated Sandpiper or a Short-billed Dowitcher or about a dozen other
shorebirds that are normally seen in my area. Then again, I found precious
few mudflats this year. (The Turtle Valley, for example, has a lot of
"water meets grass" habitat, with no muddy flats. When I did a Big Day back
in mid-May, even good old Nine Springs could provide me with only a
Killdeer, a Least Sandpiper and some Dunlins.)
Good to hear someone's seeing shorebirds...
