Birded Popham the last few hours of the flood this morning. The heat, beach-walkers, and green-heads were all reaching a crescendo simultaneously, so it should be an interesting day. Many more shorebirds present than recently, but I didn't make many counts ("official" count imminent), instead going for qualitative obs. Long pants recommended.
Highlights:
7 Red Knots; 6 in suit-of-armor winter garb
3 Baird's Sandpiper, (3) - FOS here
1 WR Sand - kept seeing repeatedly, but I think only one bird - FOS here
Despite not counting, there was an up- tic in numbers generally, for all species. Especially Least Sands.
But fewer dowitchers (12). 1 of 2 recently fledged Spotted Sands was photo'd perched on the same log it was on with its sibling few days ago.
