Even tho Lisa and I still had 15 species of shorebirds today, we did note that numbers in general are declining. While we had over 500 avocets last week, we were down to about 250 this week. Best shorebirds were Snowy Plover, Stilt Sandpiper, Long-billed Curlew, and Red-necked Phalarope. Shorebirds are spreading out a bit more....check North Mallard and as always, pond #16, which is the first gate on the right as you enter the wetlands area. One of the added bonuses however, was the abundance of migrant warblers in the isolated trees in the area. Wilson’s, MacGills, and Yellowthroat were the most common. Best of the day was a Nashville Warbler that even stayed around for a few photographs. All in Alamosa County.
