Pte. Mouillee SGA, July 20th, 2008

[Brad Murphy]

Greetings, 
 
     Today Adam Byrne and I surveyed Pte. Mouillee and had a few nice birds. Most exciting was the presence of 4 very young Black-necked Stilts feeding with their parents in the Southwest corner of Long Pond. The young birds were often very difficult to see. Other nice bird were an adult Long-billed Dowitcher in Long Pond and the continued presence of the Snowy Egret which was located on a small mud island in the northern part of the Lead Unit. A Least Bittern was seen in the Walpatich Unit. Most of the shorebirds were present in Long Pond.
 
Shorebirds today included:
 
Killdeer
Short-billed Dowitcher
Long-billed Dowitcher
Stilt Sandpiper
Greater Yellowlegs
Lesser Yellowlegs
Solitary Sandpiper
Spotted Sandpiper
Dunlin
Least Sandpiper
Semipalmated Sandpiper
Pectoral Sandpiper
Dunlin
Black-necked Stilt
 
Good Birding,
 
Brad Murphy
