Hello Tweeters,
On Kennedy Creek today i watched a Spectacular display of Shorebirds.i went
on a incomming Tide around 10.30AM, i took one look, and could not believe
what i saw. This large amount of beach was full of shorebirds bussy
feeding. An rougly estimation 5000 and so Birds.I Scoped for 30 minutes,
and found out, there where only 3 Species:Killdeer Black-bellied Plover and
all the Dunlin's.Some of the Back-bellied Plover's where already in full
breeding Plumage. This is the first time since i been going there for the
past six years, to see this large amount at one time. Something always
stirred them up, so there was this beautifull synchronized pattern of
flight, it was spectacular to watch!!!!!!
