Hi Tweets,
I stopped at a few shorebird locations and Potholes State Park this
afternoon. Shorebird numbers and migrant passerine numbers were very low in
all areas, however a few highlights were located.
Lind Coulee:
WHIMBREL - 1 associating with a pair of Long-billed Curlews
FRANKLIN'S GULL - 1 in first winter plumage with a large number of
Ring-bills
Perch Point:
Semipalmated Plover - 5 one adult and four juveniles
Potholes State Park:
Gray Flycatcher - 1 near the picnic area bathrooms
Olive-sided Flycatcher - 1 in a row of poplars along the west camping area
Several other warblers were observed around the park as well, including
Yellow-rumped, Wilson's, MacGillivray's, and Townsend's.
Cheers
