Stewart Wetland along the Snye River (Chenal Ecarte) at the west end of Langstaff Line is quite fabulous right now for shorebirds. It has been getting better with each day. I check it at least once a day hoping to find something of note. So far it has just been the usual stuff.
Today was quite noteworthy for Solitary Sandpipers as there were at least 8 or 9 this evening. Other birds included Pectoral, Least, Semipalmated Sandpipers, and Lesser Yellowlegs. Spotted Sandpipers and Killdeer were there of course.
Good spot for herons as well. A pair of Green Herons has been hanging about, and all summer several Great Blues have been there. I can only hope for a Little Blue!
For shorebirds, a Ruff will suffice for now! I found one female here in early May 2006. (digiscoped photo below)
looks like a nice patch of habitat! Looking forward to hearing what shows up there over the next few weeks!
