This morning Debbie Terry and I checked two areas of Liberty Lake for shorebirds, the north end of the lake and Bollinger Mill Road. The north end has receded south of the Route 140 bridge and access is from Old Westminster Pike. There is a small flat off Bollinger Mill Road. Numbers below are for both sites plus the total.
Canada Goose 26 + 64 = 90
Wood Duck 1 + 0 = 1
Great Blue Heron 3 + 1 = 4
Great Egret 7 + 0 = 7
Green Heron 1 + 1 = 2
Semipalmated Plover 0 + 1 = 1
Killdeer 17 + 1 = 18
Spotted Sandpiper 2 + 4 = 6
Solitary Sandpiper 2 + 0 = 2
Semipalmated Sandpiper 1 + 0 = 1
Least Sandpiper 23 + 4 = 27
Kingfisher 3 + 0 = 3
