I spent most of the day birding around the DeWeese Reservoir SWA.
Fifty-nine species were seen. Highlights were:
1 fm - Summer Tanager (next to dam)
1 alt - Common Loon
1 - American Bittern (stalking the shore of the willow island)
1 - Black-necked Stilt
1 - Sora
Dozens - Wilson Phalaropes
The area below the dam sometimes produces good warblers during migration
but not today. There were two Orange-crowns here and that was it. The pine
woods had a few Yellow-rumps.
The shallow end of the reservoir had lots of ducks and geese plus ibises,
avocets, willets, pelicans and more.
