It is certainly not news that the mix of migrating shorebirds turns
over markedly during a single day. Towpath Road/Knox-Marcellus today
is a great case in point.
At mid-morning, along with Ann Mitchell, Dave Nutter, Dominic Sheroni
and a group from Rochester, I observed several dowitchers,
Shorebirds today (Sat 28 Aug 2010) from Towpath Road (Montezuma NWR, Tyre) included at least these 15 species:Black-bellied PloverKilldeerSemipalmated PloverLesser YellowlegsStilt SandpiperShort-billed DowitcherLong-billed DowitcherBUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPERPectoral SandpiperBaird's SandpiperWhite-rum
Kevin just called to say that he and several others are watching two
BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPERS in the grassy area in the middle of Knox-Marsellus
Marsh at Montezuma.
