I visited Sandy Ridge with Jeremiah Roth last evening. The rains we had
in the last week have covered most of the good shorebird habitat that
was emerging, but
we still had some good birds.

While walking the trail through the woods, at least 5  Great Horned Owls
were calling back and forth.
out in the wetlands we saw the following:
Pied-billed Grebe
Mallards
Blue-winged Teal
Wood Ducks
Canada Geese
Accipiter spp
Sandhill Cranes - 2
Caspian Terns - 2
Great Egrets
Gr. Blue Herons
Green Herons
Kildeer - 2
Greater Yellowlegs
Lesser Yellowlegs
Solitary Sandpiper
WILSON'S PHALAROPES - 2
Kingfisher
Barn Swallows
Chimney Swifts
Indigo Buntings
Song Sparrows


The Phalaropes were the first I have seen at Sandy Ridge.

See you on the trails,
