Lagerman Reservoir continues to have quite the turnover from hour to hour. Just yesterday afternoon I observed 20+ Willets fly in, feed for 15minutes, and depart in formation to the north. Moments later, the same story with a flock of White-faced Ibis. Seems like shorebirds are using it for a quick stopover, but not staying long.
This morning, mixed among many Wilson's Phalaropes, Spotted Sandpipers, Least Sandpiper's, Dowitcher sp. and Yellowlegs sp., a single alternate-plumage BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER arrived. I observed and photographed him for 10-15 minutes, scanned the rest of the lake for other arrivals, but could not relocate plover when I came back around.
