Hi cobirders my feet have healed so I tried birding mostly near the car. Eleven AM got to Lower Latham area. Migration mostly over. Road 42 pond had a large shorebird disappear behind a peninsula . A Baird's Sandpaper was running under an American Avocet one of 8. There were also 8 Wilson Phaleropes plus one male. There were 6 Cinnamon Teals all males. Highlights on way to Road 48 were a juvenile Prairie Falcon and a Swainson's Hawk.
Road 48 low numbers but many species, Highlights; White Pelican 1 only flying low along the inlet. Snowy Egret also in the inlet Black-necked Stilt on a nest in the grassy area. Northern Harrier male over the marsh being chased Great-tailed Grackle 2 males scattered over the area Killdeer 3 having a conference in the middle of the road. Crow Valley several new ones for me. Bullock's Oriole Common Nighthawk in a tree branch Eastern Kingbird only 1 Cedar Waxwings 4 Empid. small but in the shadow sat silently White-eyed Vireo (reported earlier) I couldn't detect eye or color (didn't make my year list) Swainson Thrush (last of them I guess) Western Tanager female seen several times Western Wood Pewee Did not walk around much- hung out mostly at the faucet they leave run to make a puddle. The Waxwings (all 4), Robins, Starling and Grackles took baths -warm day. Added 7 to my year list Nice day.
