I was helping with the Twilight gull roost survey. Fun! I like gulls. Anyway, Caesar creek
Beach was where I counted from. Alas, I work Friday, even though I rearranged things
A bit, I couldn’t get there very early. It’s an hours drive! And an hour and 25 minutes
To get back home. What is with the traffic on I 71?
Anyway, I love the beach. The gulls stage there. Nice looks! I didn’t really get a chance
To study the mainly RB gulls much. Other species “got in the way”…..no Bonies!! And not
many Herring. And only 4 LBBGs. Hmmmm. Interesting. I am presuming a lot of the
Gulls flew onto a deep section of the reservoir to spend the night. Before I got there.
Anyway, snipe, least and WR Sandpipers!?! Wow. I got sidetracked….. I had scanned when
I first got there. Not well obviously…… although the birds do feed right at the beach - water
Edge. In other words they can “hide”. I scanned well after I caught a flock of pipits overhead
And then landed. Nice! All three shorebirds are new for the big year - 189! And snipe is new
For the county! Yea! But that took time….. pics and making sure of id. No peregrine
Flyby. I waited! I need that one still. And no Dunlin. That was reported today. Sigh…..
Fun! I should have tried for screech owl as I drove out. But a long day……
I probably will not get north again til Monday. And then it will be Clinton. Snow goose
Would be nice…….
Good birding all.
