From: | [log in to unmask][log in to unmask], 16 Oct 2006 15:27:14 EDT629_US-ASCII Today I followed-up with the trash clean-up project from Saturday at Hoover Reservoir. I went back into Areas M & N which weren't covered Saturday. I got to combine birding with the clean-up. Shorebirds were somewhat slow this afternoon. On the mudflats and sand spits between Area N and the boardwalk at Area M there were 9 Greater Yellowlegs, 10 Dunlin, 3 Semipalmated Plovers and many Killdeer but nothing else. There were several Common Terns skirting about, 23 Great Blue Herons clustered about, Double-crested Cormorants on a far sand spit and an adult Bald Eagle perched off Wiese Road.

Stopped by hoover on the way home today at around 4:00pm. First I hit
Oxbow island and saw some good waterfowl;
Lesser Scaup - 1
Am. Widgeon - 8
Ruddy Duck - 40
Mallard - 8
Wood Duck - 4
Bonaparte's Gull - 40 or so
Ringbilled Gull
Herring Gull
Horned Grebe = 4
D.c. Cormorants - 50
Tree Swallow - 1
Osprey - 2
Then I went to the board walk and wow, that place is seriously flooded!
Nearly all the good shorebird mud has been covered by water agin, I
felt like I'd gone back in time to a few months ago. All that rain we
had makes a big difference. Searching high and far and wide found only
1 shorebird, a Spotted Sandpiper wich I haven't seen in months either.
Spotted Sandpiper - 1
G.W. Teal - 2
Mallard - 5
Canada Geese
Same gulls as above
GBH - 10
Pied-billed Grebe - seen in the newly flooded mudflat area
Belted Kingfisher - 2
N. Flicker - 1 very lovely looking male
White - throated Sparrow - 40s
C. Chickadee
N. Cardinal
Carolina Wren
Am Robin.
Golden Crowned Kinglet
Good birding,
Ben Warner
