[birding] Brownsville area birds

[drdrnef at aol.com]

 Hi Birders,

This afternoon there was a flock of approximately 300-400 Dunlins at the Brownsville sewage ponds on Hwy 228.  I would not have known they were there, except that there were about 200 Dunlins standing as a group in the gravel lot adjacent to the construction company in front of the ponds.  It was quite a sight as the birds wheeled around the ponds as a group.

Also a late report, but I had a Short-eared owl winging over the fields at dusk on Tuesday evening at the intersection of Linn West Rd and Hwy 99E.  I looked on Wednesday and Thursday evening, but did not see it again.  That was the first owl I have seen at that location.
