As to be expected (but there is always hope), the rain driven Hudsonian and
single Marbled Godwits were a no show today on the East Pond. It also looks
like the lone Hudsonian that had stayed around for a bit might have departed
with yesterday’s flock.
The 3 American Avocets continue up at the north end and 4 Long-billed
Dowitchers were seen up that end as well.
Other shorebirds included, 2 Semipalmated Plovers, 4 Least Sandpipers, 1
Semipalmated Sandpiper, 2 Pectoral Sandpipers, 1 Stilt Sandpiper, 1 Dunlin, 2
White-rumped Sandpipers, 9 Greater Yellowlegs and 8 Lesser Yellowlegs.
Duck numbers continue to build with Ruddy Ducks and American Wigeons seeing the
largest increase. Greater Scaup have arrived as well. Other notables were the
4 Glossy Ibis that were still near the Southend.
Cheers,
