Well, shorebird activity is FINALLY picking up in the three ponds back on
LaRue - Prospect...well really just the middle pond. :-D I was able to
relocate most of the 66 White-rumped Sandpipers reported Sunday, but was
also able to add a flock of Golden Plovers...that flew in, put their feet
on the ground, then took of again. :-D.
Other things of note 1 Dunlin...just 1 on the east side of the pond. I was
also able to get Western on the west side of the pond. I wasn't able to
get a photograph of it, lighting is terrible back there. So I'm going back
on Thursday in hopes of finding it again.
Other habitat this season: The pond behind the barn has held some
shorebirds in it as well, but it is a tough hike to get back in
there...bring boots. :-D. The pond to the east of the observation deck on
SR 95 has been drained a little, and is a good place to get a Snipe if you
need one for the year.
Below is my list from today (Tuesday ) I didn't make it all the way back
to the end of the middle pond, so the counts are probably a bit low. :-D
Happy Birding, and God Bless.
