Local freshwater shorebird movement

Some species were reported this morning regarding shorebird species that frequent freshwater.

In Greenwood Cemetery, Orrin Tilevitz spotted a SPOTTED SANDPIPER at Sylvan Water . Later a report of a calling ALDER FLYCATCHER at Dellwater Slope heard by him as well.

IN Bush Terminal Park, Gus Keri found three LEAST SANDPIPERS .

As the wind was north last night , favorable for autumn --yes that's what the birds think now--some species individuals look for a head start as their breeding job--or lack thereof-- is done in the northern beyond.
