We continue to see flocks of both Lesser and Greater Yellowlegs that number from 15 to 68. This has been going on for a little over a week now. The birds are feeding in Flat Bay as well as along the mudflats of the Pleasant River in Addison.
The latest group of 51 birds (4 Lesser and 47 Greater) was around 6:10pm this evening during high tide. There are pools next to the Route 1A bridge in Harrington (on the left side of the bridge as you head east just before you cross the Harrington River) that quite often harbor roosting shorebirds during high tide.
Last week I found a high tide roost site in Five Island Cove off Pineo Point in Harrington from which I could clearly hear Lesser Yellowlegs loudly calling from a good quarter mile away! There were 50 of them making all that noise...
