Birders,
I ventured down to Jordan Lake in central NC around 8am and encountered
nearly as many birders as species of shorebirds. A couple of folks (Alan
J., I believe) had seen two Wood Storks early this a.m., but we were
unable to relocate them. Also did not find the Am. Avocet reported a few
days ago. We explored the part of the lake reached by walking west and
north from the north end of the Hwy 751 bridge.
A number of birds were too far away on the far shore to safely ID.
Here's a list of the species of interest that I saw with very rough
numbers:
Great Blue Heron 40+
Great Egeret 120+
White Ibis 6
Am. Black Duck 2+
Wood Duck 2+
Osprey 3
Bald Eagle 4
Semipalmated Plover 6
Killdeer lots
Lesser Yellowlegs 6
Solitary Sandpiper 4
Spotted Sandpiper 1
Semipalmated Sandpiper 10+
Least Sandpiper 10+
Pectoral Sandpiper 20+
Stilt Sandpiper 12
Good Birding.
