The pond next to the HQ at Hamden Slough NWR was significantly drawn down
this year and this morning there were literally hundreds of shorebirds. I
was viewing from the road and the peeps (150+) were too far away to ID.
Larger birds included lesser and greater yellowlegs, dowitchers, pectoral
sandpipers, and a few willets. On the north end of Hamden, in Bisson Lake,
there were also a few shorebirds plus a non-breeding plumage bonapart's
gull.
