They found me!<br /><br />Bird ID correction is encouraged. Yesterday during GLIBA, I got 150 Banded Stilts at Holland Landing mis-identified as Black-winged Stilts. My excuses were the 40 kph westerlies blowing straight into my face, the birds being 150 metres away huddled in a group with pelicans, teal, shelduck and my readiness to ID a bird thinking it is was the common species around at the moment [ie B-WS]. Hard to keep a scope still in those conditions. Also saw 350 Avocet!! Plus Sharpies, Red-necked Stint, Little Terns, Caspians, Whiskered, rafts of Hoary-headed. It was magic.

(Hope you didn't think I was going to correct a raptor ID!)<br />PWGouldiaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04534425400820381646noreply@blogger.com
