Greetings - took the boat out and ran over to Ponce Inlet sandbar, as I could see quite a few flocks of birds on the flats from the condo, a large increase in numbers from the previous week. Nothing unusual, but there were quite a few new arrivals:
Black-bellied Plover - 10
Wilsons Plover - 20+
Semipalmated Plover - 50+
Piping Plover - 4
Willet - 10
Greater Yellowlegs -1
Sb Dowitcher -2
Sanderling - 100+ many in partial alternate
Ruddy Turnstone - 10
Least Sandp - 100+
Western Sandp - 10+
Spoonbill - 15
large flocks of hundreds of Laughing Gulls and Royal Terns, many juveniles
At Shiloh, the northern section in Volusia County was almost completely dry, and the only water was in the southern basin in Brevard Cty. Nothing new, but there were some very large flocks of Least Sandp near the weather tower (near Grassy Point).
Black-necked Stilt - 50+
Avocet - 14
Black-bellied Plover - 1
Semipalm Plover - 50+
Killdeer - 12
Greater Yellowlegs - 100++
Lesser Yellowlegs - 50+
Pectoral Sandp - 1
Least Sandp - 500++
Western Sandp - 100+
