At dusk I encountered a SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHER just north of
Sandy Beach. I didn't see it very long but it perched on fences on
both sides of the gravel road and flew about after insects. It also
sat in a lilac bush on the south side of the residence addressed
3425 Sandy Beach Road. It may have roosted in the farm yard or flew
along the fence (south side of house) east out of sight.
The Sandy Beach area didn't produce many shorebirds but the
AMERICAN AVOCETS (17+) were continuing at the Hawkeye WA, at the
end of James Avenue.
