Hello all, The shorebirds that Joe Roller did not find recently at Barr Lake were there on Saturday morning, at least in modest numbers. The group I was birding with (Michael Kiessig, Cynthia Madsen, Scott Yarberry, Celia Greenman, Karen Drozba, and Sue Sommers) found the following along the ample mudflats and shoreline on the east and south shores: along with the inevitable Killdeer, 23 Stilt Sandpipers, 4 Least Sandpipers, 30 Baird’s Sandpipers, 3 Long-billed Dowitchers, 2 Lesser Yellowlegs, and 1 juvenile Sanderling. There were also about 50 Snowy Egrets, 2 Great Egrets, and 2 Sabine’s Gull, along with large numbers of Franklin’s Gulls, Western Grebes, American White Pelicans, and Double-crested Cormorants (as mentioned by Joe). Also 6 Bald Eagles (one adult).
