One of my favorite birding activities is to spend a quiet evening at Eagle Bluffs just listening to shorebirds constantly twittering to each other. After a check for new arrivals I often drop the binocs and just listen, enjoying the peace of the serenade.
Tonight was such a night. I estimate more than 1000 shorebirds spread out between pools 4, 5, 10 and 11. I never made it back to pools 14-15. I estimated 80-90% were lesser yellowlegs, a few greater, several pectoral and least sandpipers, killdeer and snipe; 3 LB dowitchers and 3 semipalmated plovers.
Lovely evening.
