Speaking of sandpipers: here’s another one someone can ID.
A pair of Dacha Species #144 were floating in the river when I got home today, but then they took flight pretty quickly when they saw me ….. any guesses as to their identity?? View in group
On September 26 this bird was somewhere in Oklahoma. On October 1 I’m pretty sure i saw the same bird in Alvarado Texas. Heading south!! (I didn’t get a pix though)
Here’s a reminder for Eastern Empids. Any one want to reevaluate the Empid I had at Dacha?
Just heard Sandhills going over Hyde park. (Photos from New Mexico, not Hyde Park).
Walked Platte Lane area of Hornsby this morning. Pretty slow, but we were jawing. Did get Least and Yellow-bellied flycatchers, which was a pleasure to ID confidently!! Didn’t try for pix. Anybody else out birding?
