Hi OKBIRDS,
On Thursday evening, 25 April, I had 16 species of shorebirds at Edmond Park on Arcadia Lake in Oklahoma Co. Highlights included 43 AMERICAN AVOCETS, 6 SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS, 3 SANDERLINGS, 6 STILT SANDPIPERS, 1 WESTERN WILLET, and 2 WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPERS. Fair numbers of Least (15) and Semipalmated Sandpipers (50). Also had swarms of migrating Franklin’s Gulls, 9-10 Ring-billed Gulls, 1 CASPIAN TERN, and 6+ Forster’s Terns. Landbirds were fairly quiet but I did manage to pick up several migrants including an adult White-crowned Sparrow along the shoreline of the lake.
