Hi all,
I stopped in at Brown Station Recycle Center on the way home from work
today, shorebirds were almost non-existent especially when compared to the
past few days, highlights included one juvenile CATTLE EGRET, and one
juvenile LITTLE BLUE HERON (which were standing right next to each other
when I pulled up). I also spotted my first juvenile LESSER YELLOWLEGs of
the year, which was only one of three species of shorebirds there today.
Photos of the herons can be seen at-
