Hello fellow CoBirders --
-- Went birding by bike around Jackson Reservoir and Andrick Ponds today.
Most intriguing was a pair of probable White-Rumped Sandpipers at the north shore. I saw them only in flight, for about 5 seconds, with a group of about 8 Baird's Sandpipers. They were roughly the same size. I clearly saw a bright, rectangular white patch on the rump above a darker tail. They flew along the lakeshore to the east and I was unable to find them again. I can't make a firm call about their ID because of my complete lack of experience with the species. Someone should go find them to confirm...
Other nice birds:
Black-necked Stilts (Andrick)
Orchard Orioles (Andrick)
Loggerhead Shrike (Andrick)
Semipalmated Plover (Jackson SP)
Forster's Terns (Jackson N shore + two terns that may have been Common Terns)
etc. etc.
Andrick in the morning fog is spectacular. The southernmost pond on MCR 2 is prime for shorebirds.
