[SBB] CCFS Waterbird Pond and New Chicago Marsh

[[[email protected]]]

All,
 
This morning Frank Vanslager and I first went to the Coyote Creek Field  
Station Waterbird Pond.  Birds seen included at least eight  SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS, 
a couple dozen WILSON'S PHALAROPES, a few Dowitchers  (those ID'd were 
LONG-BILLED), LEAST SANDPIPERS and WESTERN SANDPIPERS.   Later we had good views of 
a "young, not fuzzy" BARN OWL in the nest box at the  Environmental Education 
Center, Western and Least Sandpipers from the  boardwalk on the northeastern 
corner of New Chicago Marsh (near the  center).  No Semipalmated sandpipers but 
we did find one WESA that has  already molted into several gray mantle 
feathers while still maintaining a  nicely spotted white belly and flanks.
 
Stay cool,
Bob Reiling
