Perhaps of interest to El Paso Birders,
At Drake Lake (off Mallard Dr)
11 Willets
20 + Long-billed Dowitchers (at first I saw around 9 birds by the shore but as I was leaving
I saw more in the grass, east of the sandy/muddy to the north)
At the Stapleton Pond
2 more Willets
9-10 LB Dowitchers
A LARGE flock of Yellow-headed Blackbirds perched on top of one of the houses on the west side of the pond. They were not only on the peaked part of the house but all over the roof. Hundreds!
In the drainage stream, on the other side of Lambert Rd
1 Solitary Sandpiper
2 Wilson's Snipes
2 Kildirs
The water level is getting lower at Stapleton pond as a crew is pumping some of the water out.
Maybe they will dredge it which will leave a lot of mud for shorebirds...
