Shorebird time of Year
After gulls and flysnatchers, I’m starting to think of shorebirds again!
This pix didn’t make the cut in the TAS Greg Lasley photo contest, but it was one of my favorites I took during birdathon.

Forgot to ID all the birds in a previous quiz. Here there are. The Baird’s was kind of unfair The rest are Least, unless I missed something.
17 species of shorebird this morning at Hornsby. Ties my personal best at Hornsby and I just missed the BB Plover that was reported. Migrating Franklin’s Gulls and White-faced Ibis also cool.
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…
I came up with 113 species on Corpus FT (for my personal list).
The view from Hornsby today.
Migration is happening!! Tons of yellow warblers and gnatcatchers at Hornsby and a few others sprinkled in like Clay-colored Sparrow and a Flycatcher someone can ID. Also 14 species of shorebirds including Avocets and Semipalm Plovers.
