"Pelican Island", Hoover Reservoir (near the east Shore Yacht Club). This morning I and my friend Peter, and later Mike (Yough?), Got to bird the east shore Mudflats (previously reported on by C.B. and R.T.) And just right (north) of the walking bridge when facing the reservoir, on the large muddy and grassy peninsula, we had a single BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER (juv.) out picking around the grass. I am a huge fan of those guys. Other birds present in this area:
Baird's Sandpiper - 4+ all juvenile
Short-billed Dowitcher - 10 all juv.
Least Sandpiper - a few juv.
Semipalm. Sandpiper - 20 juv.
Greater Yellowlegs - 2 adult
Lesser Yellowlegs - 10+
Solitary Sandpiper - 2
Spotted Sandpiper - 2 juv. 1 adult non-breeding
Pectoral Sandpiper - 12+ adults and juv.
Semipalm. Plover - 8
Killdeer - 50
Caspian Terns
D.C. Cormorants
Northern Shoveler - 2
Green Winged Teal -2
Great Egret - 6

I checked the boardwalk at Galena and found a few Solitary, Least, Semipalm, Pectoral, and Spotted Sandpipers, as well as Semipalm. Plovers, Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, Osprey, Great Egrets, Green Heron, Belted Kingfisher etc.
Good Birding,
