After the nice rain last night, I checked some of my close birding areas. I started at N. P. Dodge Park in the marina area. mudflats! 40 willets, 6 semi sandpipers, 1 baird's sandpiper , 3 semi plovers, and 6 Gr. yellowlegs. Hummel Park near the day camp. heard a red-eyed vireo then saw 3 orange-crowned warbler and a ruby-crowned kinglet. Next stopped at Nathan's Lake where there were 5 more willets and 3 Gr. yellowlegs. Continued on to county rd 51 where an ephemeral wetland had 6 wilson's phalaropes and 2 dowitcher sp., likely lessers by their size and slightly marked breasts. At the "T" intersection before the entrance to Boyer Chute, there was a flock of about 100 blackbirds feeding along the road. Most were female redwings but mixed in were about 10 Yellow-headed blackbirds. NOt on ebird.
