Tonight (5:30-6:30pm) in the Embarrass Rice Paddies there were Yellow Headed Blackbirds present at both the Waisanen Rd and Palo Tia Rd entrances. They were not there last evening when I checked at about the same time. The numbers were very low as compared to last year but it seems they are just starting to arrive.
-Also lots of Sora calling -Many Mallards on nests and with new hatches -Bluewinged Teal -Ring Neck Ducks -N. Shoveler -Snipe Shorebirds have shifted to the Waisenan Rd side. Water level has risen after the rain. Dikes are in good repair. The shorebirds were too far away to identify. Karen Karen Sussman [email protected]
