Checked out Union Slough NWR this morning and found it still quite full
of water. A total of 6 Least Sandpipers and 2 Lesser Yellowlegs
comprised the shorebird portion of the program. Plenty of Soras calling
and a single Virginia before the sun got too high. At least 2 Least
Bitterns were just off the headquarters blacktop where they've been for
a few weeks. A total of about 1000 pelicans were spread all along the
refuge.
The weather has been great this week, but I'm ready for a change. The
forest migrants have filtered away as the week's gone by, with very few
left at Call Pk this morning. And, except for the Union Slough Merlin,
hawk movement has been nonexistent.
Good Birding,
