Hi Tweeters,

Between several ponds east of the dike trail going northeast from the end
of Lower River Road in the Vancouver Lowlands northwest of Vancouver Lake,
Clark County, this morning, the following shorebirds were seen:

Semipalmated Plover: 1 (there are 2 in the area)
Killdeer: 10
Dunlin: 7
Least Sandpiper: 20
Semipalmated Sandpiper: 1 (first one I've ever seen in Spring in western
Washington!)
Western Sandpiper: 22
Long-billed Dowitcher: 9
Wilson's Snipe: 1
Wilson's Phalarope 1 (male)
Spotted Sandpiper: 4
Greater Yellowlegs: 5
Lesser Yellowlegs: 1

I don't remember when I last saw 12 species of shorebirds in Clark County
in Spring!

Keep your eyes and ears focused on wherever the birds are.

Jim
