Shorebirds at Hornsby

Of the 39 species we cover in class, I’ve seen 22 at Hornsby in about the past month. The only thing I think I’ve missed was Black-bellied Plover. The only other things that might have been reasonable at Hornsby over that time are Willet, Short-billed Dow and maybe, maybe a Dunlin. Of course I was always looking for a red-necked Phalarope or dare I say Red Phalarope? But they’ve not shown up. YET!!!
