Ensley Update
I left off one of my favorite shorebirds on my previous post. Semipalmated
Plovers were striding around on the flats on Saturday and Sunday in good
numbers, all were adults - 23.
It is time to watch for immatures, I'm anxious about there being a good
breeding season, considering all the huge failures being reported in the news.
A
few years back, late spring snows prevented a lot of shorebirds from nesting
and
few immatures were seen.
It is a good idea to age and sex your birds if possible. It makes counting
more interesting and data more revealing.
Good Birding!!!
