Dear Birders,
I have had a few shorebirds this week at the Cosumnes River Preserve, mostly behind the Farm Center gate. On Monday I had 11 black-necked stilts, 28 killdeer, one fly-over long-billed curlew and eight greater yellowlegs. A brace of close dowitchers flushed from one pond, one dowitcher giving a few short-billed dowitcher calls. I don't think I heard anything from the second bird.
Yesterday there were fewer shorebirds, but they included a flocklet of five adult female Wilson's phalaropes.
