[mou] shorebird workshop rarities
Thank you Doug Buri, presenters, and all the USFWS staff for putting on another great shorebird workshop! Before anyone goes racing off to look for the WW dove, BBW duck or even Clark's Grebe, please be advised that many good birders spent time looking for these species shortly or immediately after they were reported, and neither the dove nor duck were refound. The dove sighting was brief, and the duck sighting was of an immature bird (as I understand it) making ID more challenging. There were observers at the dove sight from 15 min. after its discovery until almost dark (4 hrs). I am not questioning the ID of these birds (that is the difficult job of the records committee), merely informing readers of your chances if you decide to chase. Also, as Keith already alluded to, he spotted the Clark's grebe prior to myself. Had I not been helping with a survey yesterday, I would not have been fortunate enough to be at Thielke at the right time to relocate this bird. Indeed, I know of several good birders who checked the lake several times over the weekend and did not see this species. Of course, if anyone does relocate the WW dove or BBW duck, please share this with the rest of the group. Lastly, I am indebted to Peder Svingen, Phil Chu and Karl Bardon for the survey work they have been doing in western Minnesota that have turned up some of these exceptional shorebird finds.

[mou] Fw: [birdnet] Bear River Refuge birds
Hello MN bird friends. Thought you might be interested to hear what's at Bear River Refuge, Utah. Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge Box Elder County Recent happenings: Colonial bird surveys in June yielded an estimated 9200 White-faced Ibis nests, 157 Snowy Egret nests, 68 Cattle Egret nests, 78 Black-crowned Night Heron nests, 1000 Franklin Gull nests and about 20 Great Blue Heron. Just about all of the young have now fledged from the nests accounting for large feeding flocks of each species being observed on the tour route. Other surveys estimated 62 Caspian Tern and 140 Forster's Tern nests. California Gulls and Double-crested Cormorants occupied interior Refuge islands where 1203 gull and 238 Cormorant nests were found. Notable sightings from the tour route include Stilt Sandpiper, Western and Clark's Grebe young, Semipalmated Plover, Red-necked Phalarope, and Solitary Sandpiper. I did see Pink Floyd last week in one of the interior Refuge units so he should show up in the tour loop sometime? 43% of the birds counted were observed from the tour loop.
