Reuben Stolfus scouted Knox Marcellus marsh this morning in preparation for
tomorrow's guided shorebird walk. He reports a variety of species including
lots of yellowlegs of both "flavors", a number of short-billed dowitchers,
good numbers of least sandpipers and semipalmated sandpipers, a few
pectoral sandpipers, one stilt sandpiper, 2 white-rumped sandpipers and a
good deal of very interesting non-shorebird species (including some very
beautiful sandhill cranes!). The visitor center pool is featuring some
semipalmated plovers as well. And two turnstones have been seen of late
(along with a glossy ibis) along the wildlife drive.
Andrea has informed me there are still some opening for tomorrow's guided
walk. It's a great opportunity to hone your shorebird i.d. skills. Lots of
knowledgeable, friendly,  patient folks very willing to help newcomers.
So don't delay. The Golden moments fly!
