Apparently some mysterious force drew a lot of us to Jackson Reservoir yesterday. I stopped by there late afternoon to sunset. Apparently, we now have some interesting documentation of how birds move around at Jackson. It's also challenging to cover the whole area currently with the runoff and mud associated with the "enhanced wetland program". (Currently, this is also an "enhanced mosquito program", and there are some happy mosquitoes after my visit.) Hopefully the new wetlands will attract an even greater variety of birds.
-- I also missed out on the buff-breasted sandpipers, but the consolation prize was 16 mountain plovers on the "beach" near the SWA parking lot on the north side of the lake. The plovers also congregated there in late August and early September last year. Hopefully the plovers will hang around for a while again this year. If the plovers aren't found on the "beach", they might be in the fields farther north.
