BOGS Fern Ridge Royal,

July 26, 2018

July 26 met all expectations for being a very hot day. I turned around at the observation plaform, while the rest of the group got only a little further South. They did not get as far as the more interesting shorebirds which had been reported in previous days on OBOL.

We didn't get as far south as the Wednesday group did where there are large expanses of mudflats so we didn't see very many sandpipers. There were scattered
1&2: Leasts and Killdeer in the area where the Long-billed Dowitchers were wading.
3&4: East of there a couple of us saw both a Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs.
