This morning I surveyed the New Hope Creek mudflats at Jordan Lake. Water
level is very low -- almost as low as the low point last year. There were
a fair number of shorebirds about, along with lots of waders:
GBH - many
Great Egret - many
SNOWY EGRET - 1
Little Blue Heron - 7 (all white)
Green Heron - 1
Killdeer - many
Greater Yellowlegs - 3
Lesser Yellowlegs - 1
Solitary Sandpiper - 15
Spotted Sandpiper - 1
Semipalmated Sandpiper - 3
Least Sandpiper - 4
Pectoral Sandpiper - 4
Has anyone checked out the mudflats at Falls Lake?
