First of year for Palmer, Washington County
Baltimore Oriole - Apr. 22
Ruby-throated Hummingbird - Apr. 30
There were Chimney Swifts above downtown Clay Center, Clay County, today, but not above downtown Washington, Washington County, today.
I’ve been gone for a week. The wetlands NE or Linn have dried up. There were many shovelers and BW Teal at the Linn Sewage Ponds, as well as Wilson’s Phalarope. Also had a Spotted Sandpiper, Least Sandpiper, Semi-palmated Sandpiper today. Also flushed a couple of rails in the vegetated third cell, but couldn’t identify.
