Tom Riley, Dave Graham and I visited shorebird habitat on the state
lands this morning, and re-located some of the finds from earlier in week.
Carncross still had lots of Semipalmated Sandpipers, a few
Semipalmated Plovers, an adult breeding RED-NECKED PHALAROPE, a few
Dunlin, and a probable Sanderling. The Snow Goose, Trumpeter & Mute
Swans and Ruddy Duck were still there, also, two Northern Shovelers,
Blue-winged Teal and Green-winged Teal. The family of four Sandhill
Cranes were in the usual area.
At VanDyne Spoor Rd was another family of four Sandhill Cranes, 17+
BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERs, and a large number of Double-crested Cormorants.
At Armitage Road, a Prothonotary Warbler was seen singing at the nest
site. Also, the flooded corn field on Armitage is currently being
pumped down and will soon cease to be shorebird habitat. Shorebirds
were in there, but we couldn't see them. Running short on time, we
didn't get over to K-M Marsh or Morgan Rd.
Good birding,
Ken
