Dunlin at Neenoshe Reservoir, Kiowa County

[David Suddjian]

Our DFO field trip enjoyed a mostly-basic plumaged Dunlin at the SE corner of Neenoshe in Kiowa Co. early this afternoon. It was in association with a small group of Baird’s Sandpipers. It already had some black markings at what will become its belly patch, but otherwise was in basic. This part of the reservoir just has a limited area of shallow water and lots of good shorebird habitat. Greater yellowlegs was the only other shorebird in addition to Killdeer there today though.
