Spotted my first migrant shorebird today, a Solitary Sandpiper at Greenview
Pond. Interestingly, this is the date of my first Solitary spotting last year.
That bird was also at Greenview. The Solitary made a nice quartet in the scope
with a Greater Yellowlegs, Common Snipe, and Killdeer.
The NCSU dairy unit pond was flush with swallows, dozens of Tree Swallows and a
lesser number of Northen Rough-winged and a Purple Martin or two. These were
the first Tree Swallows of the year for me at the local ponds.
A few days back a pair of swans was at the north end of Lake Wheeler. I figured
they were Tundra's, but was surprised to find Mutes instead. Anybody out there
lost a pair of swans?
Best,
