Numerous shorebirds were seen with most reports from LBL and parts west.
Most likely species are being found in the usual spots including 50 plus
WESTERN SANDPIPERS, and 50 SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER in Ballard and Carlisle
Counties, and a single SANDERLING and 3 WILSON’S PHALAROPE on the
Mississippi at the Town Creek Unit. 4 BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER were observed
on Lake Barkley at Little River. And at the Falls of the Ohio 2 STILT
SANDPIPERS were seen.
In addition, migrating empidonax were observed in more than one location
with LEAST FLYCATCHER being the guessed species everytime. The gathering
gulls at LBL included a single LAUGHING GULL. Large numbers of CASPIAN TERN
and a COMMON LOON were mentioned from there as well. A good number of LEAST
TERN and thousands of swallows were noted on the Mississippi. And 2
SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHERS were seen at the bison viewing area at LBL.
