Hi Folks,
Went to Falls Lake today and was pleasantly surprised to find a minimal
amount of shorebird habitat! Went to the cove on the the Will Suitt Rd side.
Had 1 Black-bellied Plover, 1 Semipalmated Plover, many Killdeer, 6 Greater
and 1 Lesser Yellowlegs, 2 Spotted Sandpipers, 3 Least S., 1 Western
Sandpiper, 10 Pectorals, several Snipe and a dowitcher. Never heard the
dowitcher, the distance was rather far, but I think the bird was a
Long-billed according to plumage, shape, color, etc. It might be good if
others can check this spot in the next couple of weeks, especially if we
continue to have little or no rain. It is about time for the Dunlin,
Sanderlings, to start showing up. By the way, also had a fly-over Purple
Finch at Buckhorn, and a Red-breasted Nuthatch near there too. Later, Ricky
