Hello Tweets:

Carol and I tried for the Pectoral Sandpiper this afternoon but dipped on it. There are many other birds there, however. Since this was our first time birding there, we were glad to see Greater Yellowlegs, Killdeer, Spotted Sandpipers, and the one LB Dowitcher still there. Several species of ducks and lots of Canada/Cackling Geese round out the field. The viewing is good from the sidewalk and we stopped several place along the way.
It is definitely an experience in urban birding with consistent traffic on Avondale Road, but urbanity has its benefits. The walk from the Kohl's parking lot includes Mercury Coffee as an amenity. The mango-peach smoothly was refreshing today and the warmed up chocolate croissant covered the required bakery stop for the birding trip.
We'll definitely be checking out the wetlands again.
