[SBB] Ogier Ponds

[Matthew Dodder <[[email protected]]>]

All,

I made a run down to Ogier Ponds this morning to see what I could find for the new year.  Highlights included a large flock containing close to 70 CACKLING GEESE flying southeast overhead, 1 RING-NECKED DUCK, 6 CANVASBACKS, 4 HOODED MERGANSERS, 2 COMMON MERGANSERS, 1 WILSON'S SNIPE, 3 SAY'S PHOEBES, 1 LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE, and 6 LINCON'S SPARROWS. The portion of the trail that leads beneath the bridge (at the far end of the model airplane field) was especially busy with Sparrows, but nothing unusual seemed to be present.

Later I visited the Coyote Creek Golfcourse where Al Eisner, myself and another birder (Tim?) were able to relocate the SOLITARTY SANDPIPER in the small pond at the end of the foot trail leading north off of the entrance road. As mentioned, the bird was foraging around the small pond with muddy banks.
