Hey all,

I left West Virginia today to check out Yough Lake at the end of Old Morgantown Road.  The water is considerably lower than the last time I was there, but there were still a few good spots for shorebirds if you head north from the parking area at the end of Old Morgantown Road.  I did not see the family of Common Mergansers that I saw earlier in the summer.  A few of the highlights from today:

Shorebirds:
American Golden Plover - 1
Pectoral Sandpiper - 3
Solitary Sandpiper - 10
Greater Yellowlegs - 3
Lesser Yellowlegs - 1
Least Sandpiper - 8
Semipalmated Plover - 2
Killdeer - X

Others:
Osprey - 1
Green Heron - 2
Common Loon - 1 (also saw an individual here earlier this month)
Bank Swallow - 1
