I was pleased to find a Dunlin at Hornsby this morning. One of the shorebirds I needed for that location. This got me thinking about my all-time Hornsby list and which shorebirds I have not seen there. First table is the 34 species of shorebird I have seen at Hornsby, 2nd is shorebirds I have…
14 species of shorebird at Hornsby this morning. I’m surprised I haven’t seen Western or WHite-rumped Sandpipers yet. The fun part today was 20 Hudsonian Godwits flying over the ponds and then 4 landed and stuck around for 15 minutes.
It’s a cold cruel world out there!!! This fledgling WWDO keeps approaching apparently random adults to be fed. Some move away with an irritated air, but others give him a bop with powerful wings!! There’s seed on the ground but he hasn’t figured it out yet. I’ll keep watching.
I came up with 113 species on Corpus FT (for my personal list).
11, possibly 12 species at Hornsby yesterday. Here’s a few pix.
I had a great time at Granger Lake yesterday, sitting solo by the swim area watching migration go by!! No gulls at the swim area, but good numbers flying by and at 2 poorly accessible roosts.
