[cayugabirds-l] Shorebirds Montezuma: Hudsonian Godwit, Stilt Sandpiper and Semipalmated Plover 5/10/16
Although its still warbler-time and early for the main spring influx of shorebirds I broke away from the big warbler waves of yesterday (19 species in Broome county!!) to go for the HUDSONIAN GODWIT, A great bird for spring with its gorgeous breeding plumage. Thanks to Chuck Gibson from Montezuma who found this bird and to Gary Kohlenberg, Jay McGowan and Ann Mitchell for posting updates. I got the bird immediately at the Visitor's center Montezuma in the upper right corner when looking from the observing deck. The bird was a bit far for great photos but I managed two which at least ID the bird in spring plumage https://www.flickr.com/photos/davenicosia/26873285161/in/dateposted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/davenicosia/26336694833/in/dateposted-public/ Then Ann Mitchell texted me that Dave Nutter found a Stilt Sandpiper at Tschache Pool so I went over and found it. I come to find out that Jay saw it earlier and IDed in flight! The bird was among many yellowlegs which can make it hard to find and ID. I managed to get on it as it was in the close mudflat by some logs. Here are some distant photos that ID the bird https://www.flickr.com/photos/davenicosia/26335121903/in/dateposted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/davenicosia/26335123403/in/dateposted-public/ Then on wildlife drive I had 3 SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS Here's a photo of one... https://www.flickr.com/photos/davenicosia/26871622661/in/dateposted-public/ There were also LEAST SANDPIPERS, SOLITARY SANDPIPERS, KILLDEER and both species of YELLOWLEGS.
