This morning I headed to Prewitt and then Tamarack. The summer gull stragglers were all present—Western with leg band, 2 Lesser Black-backed and a sorry looking Thayer’s. I also kept hearing a Carolina Wren at the parking area between the western most bay of the reservoir and the inlet canal—the spot that used to have a couple of concreat barriers, but they seem to have walked off. The wren sang over and over and finally gave me a look.
At Tamarack (west side) I had almost all of the goodies one hopes for there—except no Eastern Wood Pewee for me. I did have singing Bell’s Vireo and Field Sparrow and a silent Yellow-billed Cuckoo showed itself.
Red Lion is drying out but starting to get shorebird active; about 10 shorebird species were present.
