I found all the normal wading birds and shorebirds on Bio Lab Rd today. Wading bird highlights were the normal herons and egrets, both ibises, and Roseate Spoonbills. We also had a fair share of Stilt Sandpipers, both Dowitchers, both Yellowlegs, Semipalmated Plovers, and Least, Western and Semipalmated Sandpipers.
I also found a small flock of shorebirds with dowitchers, yellowlegs and an interesting shorebird. It's a Wilson's Phalarope! It in the rear with a very thin needle-like bill, white throat, white rump, and pale lores.

Looks like you had a nice day on the refuge! Wonderful images, Scott!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was a pretty nice morning.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, Scott! Did you go through Black Point? I think maybe I saw you...I drove Biolab before heading to Black Point; beautiful morning:)
ReplyDeleteI did drive Blackpoint. Sorry I missed you! My car battery died on the drive, so after getting a jump start, I had to keep the car running until I made it to a car parts store. So I drove Blackpoint a little fast. I didn't see a whole lot.
ReplyDeleteOh no, I guess it was probably better to happen on Blackpoint than Biolab! I thought my car was going to get swallowed by a pot hole! There wasn't much to see on Blackpoint...
