First checked the Flood Control Basins. No Blue-winged Teal, but 6 or more Cinnamon Teal males and maybe 2 females. A pair of AMERICAN WIGEONS and one male PINTAIL, lots of GADWALLS and RUDDY DUCKS, one COMMON MOORHEN were most of the ducks. The tide was high so the shorebirds were in, one SPOTTED SANDPIPER among them. Very close looks at LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS. The reeds were full of COMMON YELLOWTHROATS and MARSH WRENS singing. Next I checked out the Baylands mudflats across from the duck pond. Tons of peeps, mainly WESTERN SANDPIPERS, SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS, some DUNLIN in alternate plumage, a few BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS, a few WILLETS, and many MARBLED GODWITS and DOWITCHERS. There was a small flock of 9 BONAPARTE GULLS all in alternate plumage that grew to be 19 gulls, most of the rest in basic plumage. I saw no Green-winged Teal at either location, nor Shovelers or Canvasbacks. Question for those who know more about duck migration than I: are these all gone now? Is the Wigeon unusual for this time of year? Kris Olson _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
