Yesterday afternoon Dominc Sherony and I birded the area and found the
Red-necked Phalarope all the way to the north end of the dike 200 yards into
the cove looking SW. The other highlight was 2 White-rumped Sandpipers.
Tuesday they began adding water to the occasionally productive Muckrace
Flats on the south side of Savannah-Spring-Lake Road just west of Morgan
Road-no birds yet. They have almost finished a new overlook platform at the
Martens Tract
The visitor center had 40ish Lesser Yellowlegs and good numbers of
Pintail, Shoveler and both Teal.
A Merlin taking a dust bath on the wildlife drive was a nice surprise. A
young Virginia rail was calling opposite laRues in the late afternoon heat
with mom and dad(2 different birds) grunting back occasionally. Mike Tetlow
