Hey, all.
-- I didn't need me no stinkin' Bryan Guarente to tell me to pop out on my local patch during the heavy snow these past few hours. ;-)
I could barely see my way out there, but there were shorebirds aplenty. At Greenlee Wildlife Preserve, there were 5 long-billed dowitchers, 7 American avocets, 1 Wilson snipe, 2 lesser yellowlegs, 4 greater yellowlegs, and 2 killdeer.
Over at nearby Waneka Lake: 2 least sandpipers, 5 lesser yellowlegs, 8 greater yellowlegs, and 2 killdeer.
And at nearby Hecla Pond: 1 solitary sandpiper, 10 American avocets, 5 lesser yellowlegs, 8 greater yellowlegs, and 3 killdeer.
My guess is that there's an awful lot of stuff put down right now at reservoirs up against the foothills--and that the birds will be there tomorrow (Fri.) morning. If you're not headed down to Pepsi Center on a vaccine run in the morning, consider heading out to Valmont Rez or some such.
