This afternoon I dropped by a little retention pond on Lake Emma Rd. The pond has shallow water right now, and it's been really good for shorebirds and ducks. Today I found two Green-winged Teal in the pond and a Black-necked Stilt. The stilt really surprised me. I've been seeing Least Sandpipers, both Yellowlegs and Wilson's Snipe here, but I did not expect the stilt at all. Both of these birds were the first I've seen in Seminole County.

I was here a couple days ago and found a Swallow-tailed Kite, which is the first I've seen of the year. It's funny how good a small, unattractive pond can be.

Nice shot of the green wing teal. Scott, where is this pond? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It at the corner of Lake Emma Rd and Longwood Hills Rd in what I guess is Longwood, FL. It's right next to a daycare center, so I wouldn't go during school hours; people may get suspicious. And there's no parking there--you can try parking in the church across the street.
