Greetings! Ron Sempier is reporting a good smattering of Shorebirds starting to filter into the middle pond of Big Island. With the partial draining of that pond, it will either make it easier or harder to find them.:-D. Scope not critical but it will help. I would listen for anything thst isn't a Killdeer. Also keep eye out for Black Terns. One or two have been seen off and on all last month. I'm working all week, so if anyone spies a Wimbrel...or a juvi Black Tern let me know. :-D Happy Birding and God bless!
