On July 26, 17 people attended a Cecil Shorebird trip, led by Gary
Griffith. Gary went to much effort for this trip, mailing out postcards
in advance. Thanks Gary.
Courthouse Point had its` usual mix of GREEN HERON ( 3 ), LITTLE BLUE
( 6 ), CATTLE EGRET and GREAT EGRET. Both YELLOWLEGS were present, as
well as PECTORAL( 2 ) , SPOTTED ( 1 ) and SOLITARY ( 1 ) SANDPIPER.
West of Cecilton, the now infamous Gunthers Pond was host to a mixed
flock of DOWITCHERS ( 50 shortbill ) , GREATER and LESSER YELLOWLEGS,
PECTORAL SANDPIPERS ( 2 ) and LEAST SANDPIPERS ( 20 ). Also present was
a lone male RUDDY DUCK.
