Shorebirds at Ottawa Beach

September 3, 2019

The star of the show was a juvenile Long-billed Dowitcher.






We also saw lots of other shorebirds: Baird's Sandpiper, Least Sandpiper, Lesser Yellowlegs, Sanderling, Semi-palmated Plover, Semi-palmated Sandpiper, and Stilt Sandpiper.










Our friend, Ken, who had earlier been at Connie's lunch with us, showed up to enjoy the show too.



Other waterbirds spotted were Blue-winged Teal, Great Blue Heron, Great Egret, Ring-billed Gulls and Mallards.





When leaving, we spotted a Monarch Butterfly.
