Ruddy Turnstone at Wastewater

.
Today (Aug. 7) there was a Ruddy Turnstone at MWW. It was in the East Lagoon on the west shore near the pipe on the north. There were also many other shorebirds around. Lesser and Greater Yellowlegs, Least, Semipalmated, Baird's, Pectoral, Solitary, Spotted Sandpipers, and Semipalmated Plover.  There were many shorebirds in the center aeration cell. It also appears that this cell is being lowered which would increase the shorebird habitat. The Common Ravens continue near the dump.
