Charlie DeWitt, Carol DeWitt, Feller DeWitt, Karen Zipser, Carol Cooper, John Walhout, Connie Peoples, Pat Bazaney, Ken Sherburn, Kevin Dine, Dave Jacobs and Kathryn Mork (with a brief appearance by Rosemary Radius of Grand Rapids Audubon) followed Ric Pedler around various Wastewater locations this morning tallying 89 shorebirds of 8 species despite our late start (for which Ric was justifiably chastised).
.
Aerator #3 provided the most shorebirds (49 of 5 species) but Aerator #5 the most shorebird diversity (9 individuals, but 6 species!): Killdeer, Lesser Yellowlegs, Baird's Sandpiper, Semipalmated Sandpiper, Least Sandpiper and Wilson's Phalarope.
.
Besides the shorebirds reported to eBird below, our group also found a Great Egret at the Clay Pond and a Cooper's Hawk alongside Swanson south of White.
