Greetings - Michael Brothers and I visited Shiloh Road yesterday (7/17) afternoon. The water was high, and not much mudflat was exposed. However, there were lots of Greater Yellowlegs, many still in alternate plumage, and one with orange legs, Avocets and a flock of Spotted Sandpipers, still with lots of spots, picking around in a Salicornia patch. If the water level drops some, it should be great for migration, but I do not know if the water is managed by Refuge staff, or related to rain.
Species seen:
Killdeer - 2
Black-bellied Plover -2
Semipalmated Plover - 2
Avocet - 13
Greater Yellowlegs - 125+
Lesser Yellowlegs - 2
Spotted Sandpiper - 6
Western Sandpiper - 7
Semipalmated Sandp - 2
Least Sandp - 50+
