Hey, all. I didn't need me no stinkin' Bryan Guarente to tell me to pop out on my local patch during the heavy snow these past few hours. ;-)
I could barely see my way out there, but there were shorebirds aplenty. At Greenlee Wildlife Preserve, there were 5 *long-billed dowitchers,* 7 *American avocets,* 1 *Wilson snipe,* 2 *lesser yellowlegs,* 4 *greater yellowlegs,* and 2 *killdeer.* Over at nearby Waneka Lake: 2 *least sandpipers,* 5 lesser yellowlegs, 8 greater yellowlegs, and 2 killdeer. And at nearby Hecla Pond: 1 *solitary sandpiper,* 10 American avocets, 5 lesser yellowlegs, 8 greater yellowlegs, and 3 killdeer. My guess is that there's an awful lot of stuff put down right now at reservoirs up against the foothills--and that the birds will be there tomorrow (Fri.) morning. If you're not headed down to Pepsi Center on a vaccine run in the morning, consider heading out to Valmont Rez or some such.
