Bits and Pieces

On a return to the 'Hidden Gem' (small Bordo mentioned in an earlier post) , the flock of Long-billed Dowitchers had increased to 24. Also present were 9 Least Sandpipers, 6 Spotted Sandpipers and 12 Black-necked Stilts.


46 Cattle Egrets fed, and on the water were 5 Shovelers. I locked onto 3 more Grey Flycatchers and a Ruby-crowned Kinglet among the commoner birds (Blue Grosbeaks, Verm Flycatchers, Kingbirds, Loggerhead Shrikes, Clay-coloured and Lark Sparrows).

4 Turkey Vultures were over Tequis yesterday, the most I've seen this year.


Today, I had another Empid. species by the Rio San Juan. I'm leaning towards Cordilleran but am awaiting feedback from more experienced sources.
