I’d like some comments on 1 of the 4 Ibis I had at Hornsby yesterday.
Spent some time under a tree next to Lake Sommerville yesterday. Had 500-600 White pelicans, a smattering of gulls (Franklin’s & Ring billed) and 5 species of shorebirds For the 2024 Shorebird class: Can you ID the shorebirds and tell me why? (Feel free to review Eric’s fine table)
Still from Granger yesterday. Here’s a few shorebirds for any graduate of the Shorebird Class to ID. Look at the flying flock carefully.
ID bird 1?
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!!
