Northeast Reservoirs Friday

[Norm Erthal]

Last Friday I went northeast to see what might be at the reservoirs, hoping to find a jaeger. When I arrived at Jumbo, it was raining and 48 so I sheltered with my scope under the rear hatch. It has the best shore of the three I visited. The only real birds of note at Jumbo, Prewitt, and Jackson were common terns with 11, 23, and 11 respectively. Jumbo did have good numbers of shorebirds at least. Prewitt is developing a little shore and Jackson has a small amount of mud in the northwest corner.

Stopped in Ovid as the sky was clearing. The sun came out, but there were no birds to follow. The only migrant was a single Orange-crowned Warbler.
