Pam Ford and I went to Bear Island WMA today in search of several Wilson’s
Phalaropes that have been reported. We didn’t find that species, but we had
approximately 2000 individual shorebirds of 11 species, and conditions are
great for more shorebirds to be moving in. Most were found in Mary’s Pond,
Tank Hill, and Ashepoo Pond by the Ashepoo River Bridge (where one of the
phalaropes was photographed). We had 77 species, lots of action, should
only be getting better. Happy Birding!
