[SBB] Semipalmated Sandpiper, Orange Bishop

[[[email protected]]]

All,
 
This morning Frank Vanslager and I were finally able to find a well marked  
juvenile SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER in New Chicago Marsh, just off of the boardwalk 
 located near the Environmental Education Center.  We then went to the  
Coyote Creek Riparian Station Waterbird Pond where, thanks to Peggy  Don, Frank was 
able to relocate the male ORANGE BISHOP on the eastern edge  of Coyote Creek. 
 The male then flew to the marsh located between the creek  and the Waterbird 
Pond (and later to a couple different trees nearby) where it  was well seen 
by both of us.  A bird that preceded the male Orange Bishop  in flight to the 
marsh, flying at a lower level, was not well seen but was most  likely the 
female (a plain, short tailed bird with the same GIS).
 
For what it's worth the water levels of New Chicago Marsh and the CCRS  
Waterbird Pond seem quite low (the first pond along the railroad tracks in New  
Chicago Marsh is now dry)!  
 
Take care,
Bob Reiling
