Hi COBirders, I visited Timnath Reservoir this morning from 10am to 1pm. Jim and Karen Schmoker, and Ray and Joan Glabach were also there enjoying the Everglades-like spectacle. We visited the East Bay, the reservoir view at the NE corner in the subdivision and finally, Timnath Park on the south side. I counted 126 Snowy Egrets along the dam in the park and there were at least 50 more on the east side of the reservoir, but no Great Egrets. There were countless hundreds of pelicans and cormorants present, along with many shorebirds too distant for me to ID. I did tally 9 species of shorebirds, most of the ones Nick Komar reported yesterday, plus Long-billed Dowitcher (10) and Least Sandpiper (no Sanderling however). We also saw two Forster's Terns and one Black Tern. Among the numerous Western Grebes we found two Clark's Grebes. Also seen were one each Marsh Wren, adult Bald Eagle, White-faced Ibis and Great-tailed Grackle. This is certainly an exciting spot worth visiting.
