Tweeters,
Spent a couple hours at the game range on Fir Island today, walking out to the end of the dike along the "3 ponds". I was hoping to find shorebirds, however ended up being there at a bad tide I guess. I was there around 130-330pm and the tide seemed high, however was flowing out and by the time I had reached the third pond, that area was about half exposed mud and half covered.
I only found about 25 Killdeer and about 10 Yellowlegs of both species.
Other species of note:
COYE Many
MAWA
OCWA
YEWA
WIWA
WWPE
Merlin 2
VIRA calling out past the very end of the main dike
