Hi Muckracers,
Going to go out on a limb, and after much debate, Carol and I are
pretty sure this is a Buff-Breasted seen at close distance at the new
shorebird area on the main drive. The light was terrible, but I feel
lucky to have seen it at all. Just a gentle reminder that if people
stay in their cars, we'll all get a close view. A car is a great blind
and with a slow approach, one can see these even without binoculars
and with a little luck, others will also get a chance . A train of
about 12 cars sped up and back the road, purpose not clear, and scared
everything away. After that , all the Golden Plovers with the
exception of a one legged one flew and did not return. The Buff was a
life bird for Carol and I and we're quite excited unless of course
we're incorrect! Good luck! I can't wait until I'm retired so I can
do some of these events. Diana
Here's a few quick edited ones.
