Decided to check the lake after the front came through late yesterday (the lake was almost a total bust yesterday). What a difference a day makes! Perhaps a couple of thousand birds present. I found 20 species of shorebird, including:
@Ruff (reeve) in basic plumage at far west end of the lake. I tried to photograph it for about one hour...we'll see.
@Black-bellied Plover - 6
@Marbled Godwit - 1
@Willet - 1
@Ruddy Turnstone -1
@Red-necked Phalarope - 1
@Sanderling -1 basic
@Wilson's Ph. - 12
@Stilt Sandpiper - 6
@White-rumped Sp - many
Also
@Common Tern - 1 (with Forster's Terns)
