A HUGE THANKS to our wonderful guide, John Andrew Wright of Johnandrewwright.com who drove us to all the great spots to bird! Great effort - Thanks, John! 10/14/12 Shorebirds galore: First, a striking setting for a Great Egret! Next, a Peregrine Falcon cruising and disrupting the flocks. Also, Vega Gull , Far-eastern Curlew and comparison with Eurasian Curlew (also taking a bath), Dunlin flocks in flight , Black-faced Spoonbill pair (very cool flyby!), Common Greenshank , Terek Sandpiper , Black-bellied Plover mixed flock (these also favored the red heather-type fields), Greater Sand Plover flock in flight, Barred-tailed Godwit flock in flight, and finally a Black-tailed Godwit landing, showing its tail. What a way to spend a morning! |
