Red-shouldered Hawk Continuing at N. Sterling SP - Logan County

[Kathy and Jeff Dunning]

Hi all -

Today Dick Schottler, Norm Erthal and I headed northeast for a day of birding.

We re-found the Red-shouldered Hawk at the location previously described by Bill Kaempfer at N.Sterling SP (nice find!).   We were surprised by the lack of shorebirds as the water levels appeared to be dropping making for good mud.

Jumbo Reservoir also has improving shorebird habitat and we found a nice mix of expected species.

Prewitt has little shorebird habitat and relatively few birds.

The trio of playas in Morgan County still hosted a decent assortment of shorebirds and eclipse ducks, but numbers seemed reduced.

We spent relatively little time land-birding, but echoing Steve M. and Dave L., we seem to be off to a fairly slow start.

 

Good birding,

Kathy Mihm Dunning
