WINDSOR SEWAGE PONDS

High tide - 2pm

=20

90-100 Black-bellied Plovers

240+ Canada Geese

50 Semipalmated Sandpipers

9 American Wigeon

15 Semipalmated Plovers

6 Green Winged teal=20

70+ Black Ducks

65+ GBB Gulls

100+ Herring Gulls

Plus one DOWITCHER, which towered over the nearby peeps. It was an adult =
in non-breeding colors. I assume it was a Short-Billed, even though that =
magnificent beak had me writing long-billed into my field notes. The =

expected - quite yellow with a distinct black tip. I also watched it =
