We arrived at Puddler's Marsh around 6:30. In spite of 90 degrees there was
no heat shimmer and good light. Great numbers of birds. Highlights are as
follows:
1 Stilt Sandpiper
1 Short-billed Dowitcher
2 Semi-palmated Sand.
4 Pectoral Sand.
1 White-rumped Sand.
4 Solitary Sand.
30 Spotted Sand.
250 Killdeer all over the mudflats at KM
30 Greater Yellowlegs
~1000 Lesser yellowlegs
500 Least Sand.
21 great Egrets flew in around 7:40 as did numbers of Great-blue
Herons until they totaled over 120.
We could not find the Wilson's Phalarope or Baird's but I bet they're still
there.
Our persistence was rewarded by 2 otters that came out and started feeding
on the water near the N-NE shore. We no longer cared about the birds we may
have missed. Mike and Joann Tetlow
