Subject: American Avocets at Carson Lake
On a trip to Carson Lake yesterday, we were amazed at the numbers of American Avocets which were spread out on almost all the mud flats and shallow water areas that we visited. We didn’t count them, but we agree that there were hundred of avocets - my guess would be over a thousand avocets.

We also saw a dozen or more Black-necked Stilts, Greater Yellow-legs, a few sandpipers, Great Blue Herons, Great Egrets, no ibis, many ducks and gulls, a few Canada Geese, and still many Snow Geese.

Subject: Washoe Saw-whet Owl
When I found the Owl three weeks ago, I actually thought there was a second as the tooting was close, but not constant or that owl was moving around undetected. I would suggest that enough visits have been made and they are likely nesting or trying to. I have not been back in there myself since the original sighting. My eBird lists don’t go out on alerts as the result of a birder some ten years ago following me for several days just based on the alert system in a rather remote part of the country, but are publicly accessible if you do data mine within eBird. This constant visiting is also why some species are no longer visible within eBird. I may just have to utilize hidden checklists much more frequently in the future.

Good Birding,

Joe Fischer
