Saturday, Aug. 4 - 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. Great egret Solitary sandpiper - 3 Pectoral sandpiper - 8 Lesser yellowlegs - 12 Least sandpiper - 6 Semipalmated sandpiper - 4 Spotted sandpiper - 2 Great blue heron Rock pigeon (banded) on the mudflats Ring-billed gull Barn, tree, and rough-winged swallows Chimney swifts Wood ducks Mallards Canada geese Mudflats on the main pond are looking good--could use a little more rain. Birds are coming into the "shoreline" much closer the last two days. Two new sightings happened for us this past week. We had a hummingbird taking a dust bath in our backyard and watched a willow flycatcher feed a young song sparrow at the North Park on Old Springfield Rd. What interesting surprises you can find while birding!
