As the waters have receded along Herman Rd in Freeville, the rice paddies currently have some excellent shorebird habitat. There was a good size group of lesser and greater yellowlegs there this morning (25+) along with a couple of least sandpipers. Other peeps were flying around the rice paddies further from the road, but I couldn't stay to look at everything. There might be some additional species intermixed if anyone is out that way to look.
Over the last few weeks, this spot reliably has wood duck, Bald eagles, a pair of green winged teal, hooded mergansers, common yellowthroat, yellow warbler, tree swallows, Eastern kingbird, and a variety of sparrows. It is a good spot to pull off the road and see what you can find!
