Hi all,
After a weekend of planting/yardwork Penny and I checked out Grand Bend
lagoons which I've been avoiding due to much recent construction of a new
pipeline from PPP. There were quite a few Dunlin, some Spotted, Least and SP
Sandpiper with at least 1 White-rumped, ~8 SP Plover and both Yellowlegs sp. in
the 3rd. lagoon(quite low water). The usual waterfowl included Ruddy and Wood
Duck(2nd lagoon) and both GW and BW Teal(4th lagoon).
We carried on to KP where I was pleasantly surprised to find the 2 Red
Knot - intently feeding at water's edge, near the southern entry to the beach,
north of the main point. Unfortunately the more brightly plumaged of the 'pair'
had an injured right leg. Using the van as a 'blind' I got some nice video
within ~ 5 M - a nice way to end May.
Cheers! Maris
