hi Cobirders Went up to Crow Valley first Friday morning. Almost
11AM and very little activity too warm. I did see Mark Chavez
and Huffsetter (?) soon joined by Dick Schottler all had watched for
the Connecticut Warbler. They did not see it neither did I.
I also met David Simpson and wife Dee from Florida. We birded
together for a short while. Saw a small Flycatcher, his wife
photographed and we were unable to identify. We came across a few
warblers including two male Townsend Warblers.
I ate lunch and headed for Lower Latham and the flooded meadow on the
south side of Rd 48. There were hundreds of
Shore birds here. Great variety. There were 4 Black-necked Stilts and
6 American Avocets. Lots Killdeer and sandpipers
I made tentative ids.
There was one larger sandpiper with very red legs possible female
Spotted Redshank ( really impossible!) Sibley shows
one in Kansas.
Also there were two female Ruffs nearby with characteristic hump in
middle of back with feathers loose.
I hope all this stuff is still there early Saturday and someone can
get pictures. I didn't take camera today of course!
