Hey Everybirdy,
Biolab Road, about midway on the west side had a group of 8 Willets and 10
Pectoral Sandpipers scattered around.
Heading south on Shiloh marsh Road, the wide open area with real shallow
water, about 2 miles in had a nice assortment:
15 Black-bellied Plovers (most still in alternate plumage)
200+ Least Sandpipers (50-50 split of jv's and adults)
20 Semipalmated Plovers
3 Western Sandpipers
50+ Semipalmated Sandpipers
about 3 miles in +, scattered along the lagoon side, were:
100+ Least sandpipers
28+ Western Sandpipers (several worn adults but mostly appeared to be
juveniles)
6+ Ruddy Turnstones
3 Killdeer
7 +Semipalmated Plovers
While exiting the refuge, I stopped along the south edge of Parrish Park
causeway and in spite of all the fishing traffic all day long, shorebirds
found their way back in late afternoon:
10 Pectoral Sandpipers
8 Semipalmated Sandpipers (6 juveniles)
20+ Least Sandpipers
4 Semipalmated Plovers
See you out there!
