Mills Pond Migrants
It was a pleasure to see multiple wobblers and some sidekicks today at Mills Pond with Virginia. Nice warm up for High Island!!

Fall migration is in the air! Dickcissels and at least 4 upland sandpipers going over on this morning’s walk.
I estimated 330 Wilson’s phalarope at Hornsby in this flock, about 100 in a 2nd flock yesterday. 12 shorebird species.
A cool sight this morning: 200 or so cattle egret on Thaxton road south of McKinney falls SP.
Another question for 2022 gulls class: with these long narrow wings with black wingtips I thought I had what species? But what species is it actually?
With North wind coming on I decided to go watch for migrants at Granger Lake. I was not disappointed!!
