[birding] Migration 3 May 2010

[Paula Vanderheul]

At 5:30 pm this evening:

The Finley, McFarland Rd wetland had all the species Doug mentions below but 
the Whimbrel.

I counted 15 Black-bellied Plover, 4 Semipalmated Plover and saw all the 
Least and Western, Dunlin, Long-billed Dowitcher.

I can add 3 Greater Yellowlegs
Am Wigeon
Green-winged Teal
Tree Swallows in mass

At McFadden Marsh
I viewed 130 Greater White-fronted Goose
Eurasian Wigeon
N Pintail
N Shoveler
Wigeon
Cinnamon Teal

no solitary sandpiper or yellow-headed blackbird

Maybe tomorrow morning the migration will be even better!
