May 16 a.m. Finally, Lake Byllesby has some shorebirds. Jim Otto and I found about 150 birds and 11 species. Everything is a looooong way off due to still high water. Species included:
Ruddy Turnstone Wilson's Phalarope Dunlin Baird's Semipalmated Plover Willet Also 16 Caspian Tern 2 Common Tern ~20 Forster's Tern The lake level is typically raised starting May 15 to accomodate crop planting. So shorebird conditions may not last long. James Mattsson mattjim at earthlink.net EarthLink Revolves Around You. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
