Water conditions at my little "secret"
shore bird spot were ideal this week, though this late in the season I wasn't expecting to see shorebirds. I should know better.
Birding is very much about the unexpected. One of the most enjoyable aspects of birding is the element of surprise and surprised is what I was to see three Pectoral Sandpipers huddled together on the mudflats. In my
Nikon 10x25 Premier LX binocular, they were nicely seen. Also still a lot of Killdeer working the edges of the pond. Just a matter of time, now, before things freeze up, but, in the meantime, I will keep on eye and my
binocular on my little secret spot for more surprises.
