I spent three hours this morning (8-11 am) at the
upper end of Lind Coulee, within a quarter mile each
side of the M street bridge, just SE of Potholes
reservoir, south of Moses Lake.
In the side arm of the coulee, north-east of the of
the bridge, I found about 300+ Long Billed Dowitchers,
identified by voice, etc. They were callling while
feeding, but not a lot. I did hear a flight call of
Short Billed Dowitchers a couple of times.
I also found:
2 Stilt Sandpipers
8 Lesser Yellowlegs
12 Pectoral Sandpipers
many Killdeer
2 Great Egret
About 1/4 mile west of the bridge I found another 200
LB Dowitchers and 2 more Pectoral SP. I searched all
Pectorals closely for the buffy breast of a
sharp-tailed, to no avail.
