Carolyn Weng led 20 people including several from Sable Dunes Audubon (Pentwater) on an MCNC Fieldtrip around the Wastewater lagoons this morning. We'll post a full species list here when/if we get one. Highlights included a large (presumably female) Cooper's Hawk hunting the filtration lagoons north of the West Lagoon, a Caspian Tern and several Ruddy Ducks in the East Lagoon, a Pied-billed Grebe in the West Lagoon and small numbers of various shorebird species including Semipalmated Plovers, peep sandpipers, a Black-bellied Plover, Lesser Yellowlegs, a Short-billed Dowitcher, and among the Baird's Sandpipers, this individual in Aeration Cell #5 which seemed to be oiled from face to breast.
