I was at Hoover Reservoir from about 4:00- 600 pm today. From the boardwalk:
Black-bellied Plover 1, Killdeer many, Lesser Yellowlegs 3, Least Sandpiper 4, Pectoral Sandpiper 6.
From the west shore accessible from Wiese Road at the road closed sign:
Black-bellied Plover 1 (same one?), Semipalmated Plover 11, Killdeer many, Lesser Yellowlegs 8, Greater Yellowlegs 1, Semipalmated Sandpiper 5, Least Sandpiper 27, White-rumped Sandpiper 1, Pectoral Sandpiper 9, Stilt sandpiper 6.
On my way to Hoover Res., I stopped at the Dick Road wetland area off of Egypt Pike south of Deer Creek Reservoir. The water is gone leaving still wet and cracked mud. There were 25 killdeer and 100+ Turkey Vultures, with perhaps a few Black Vultures. The vultures were apparently attracted by the dead fish and frogs. There was one puddle of water along Dick Road west of the parking area, but no shorebirds-only a bunch of dead floating carp.
