This Fall has been really good for shorebird migration on the MVNWR due to the long extensive mudflats stretching along Long Meadow Lake. At the Bass Ponds this morning there were 40 Long-billed Dowitchers wading together moving around providing good views, they have been plentiful this season. Also present again were Black-bellied Plovers flying around and calling, Dunlin, Semipalmated Plover, Semipalmated Sandpiper, Least, Pectoral, Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, Wilson's Phalarope, and the Killdeer. A scope would be needed to enjoy most of these species.
