It was a beautiful morning to be in the marsh today......................and we did find a few shorebirds. Lesser Yellowlegs Spotted Sandpiper Solitary Sandpiper Least Sandpiper Pectoral Sandpiper Short Billed Dowitcher Semi-palmated Plover Semi-palmated sandpiper Killdeer Thanks to Tom Kashmir who was banding shorebirds at ONWR and let us get an "up close" look at the birds.......... Thanks too to Larry Richardson and Julie Shieldcastle who were on our walk and added a lot of information. Not a lot of numbers of anything..............but there's more to come! Next Saturday August 14th at 9 am there will be another shorebird walk meeting here at Magee Marsh Bird Center. This is part of the Hike the Dike series of walks that are held March through November. So come out and see what is around next week. Also our area manager tells us that the eastern most unit of Mallard Club Wildlife area has a mudflat and some shorebirds. Some of this mornings folks were headed over that way to see what they could find. Happy Birding! Mary L. Warren Wildlife Communications Specialist Magee Marsh Wildlife Area 13229 W.
