Greetings all,
Spent an hour and a half this morning checking for anything new- had a couple of FOS (First of Season) for me for the area, including 1 Pacific Golden Plover and 4 Marsh Sandpiper.
1 Pacific Golden Plover (allowed a fairly close approach, which I really appreciated as it was a lifer for me in my fledgling birding career)
4 Marsh Sandpiper (as reported earlier)
7 Zitting Cisticola
1 Dusky Warbler (FOS for me)
12 Black-winged Stilt
10 Siberian Stonechat
8 Common Teal
2 Greater Painted Snipe
The usual suspects included a couple of Grey Herons, White-throated and Common Kingfishers, a few Sooty-headed Bulbuls, several Cattle and Great Egrets, and abundant Wagtails (Yellow and White), Snipe (Common, Pintail/Swinhoe), Plovers (Little Ringed and Kentish) and Sandpipers (Green, Wood, Common).
Good birding,
Wes Homoya
