Hi Everyone,
Mike Chapman and I looked for the Eider this morning and it was not
there. There were good views of Black Scoter and Lesser Scaup. The
Oldsquaw was there and a few Surf Scoters.
On the way back from Folkston in the afternoon the tide was high, so
I stopped at the mitigation sight on US 17.
There were: 2 Whimbrels, 2 Killdeers, 14 Greater Yellowlegs, 30
white Ibis, 10 Willets, 100+ Short-billed Dowitchers, 50 Dunlins.
Further along US 17 there was another large flock of shorebirds but
they flushed when I stopped and would not settle back down. That had
Black-bellied Plovers, Dunlins, Western Sandpipers and Least Sandpipers.
