There's a lot more shorebird habitat than shorebirds at HWA now. Today most
were at
Babcock Access in a pool that will dry up in a few more days. There were about
200
of good variety including a juv. RED-NECKED PHALAROPE and 2 juv. WESTERN
SANDPIPERS.
The spot (east side near the shore) requires a bit of walking around the muddy
low areas.
Sand Point had only 100 pecs and peeps with no notables. So for the day I saw
14 species
shorebirds plus a lovely female Prothonotary and N. Waterthrush at the west
end. Pelicans
were in the thousands and Great Egrets numbered 400.
