Birds at Hornsby

Here’s my Shorebird Scorecard for the last 5 weeks. 21 species at Hornsby and 34 of 38 regularly occurring species overall. Did pretty well at Hornsby: over 8 visits during April and May this year, I averaged 11.9 species/visit. Best birds were Upland Sandpipers on every visit, Hudsonian Godwits on 2 visits and 5 Ruddy…

I showed my friend Kelly the phalarope feeding technique using surface tension and he showed me the old drafting ruling pens using the same principle. So naturally we had to try it ourselves!!
