[Birdnet] Dunlin @ AIC

[Tim Avery]

This afternoon between 12:00 and 2:00pm I observed 9 Dunlin along the 
Antelope Island Causeway.  All the birds were at magical mile marker 6 
to the north of the causeway.  There was one flock of 8 birds that 
stayed pretty much together about 350 yards to the north.  There was a 
lone bird that was also keeping company with a mixed flock of 
Sanderling, Western and Least Sandpiper:

The flock of Black-bellied Plovers continues to the north and south of 
MM6.  There may have been as many as 700 birds present today.

Counted around 75 Bonaparte's Gulls of which all but 4 were in breeding 
plumage:

At Garr Ranch were several good migrants:

1 Orange-crowned Warbler
2 Green-tailed Towhee
15 Yellow-rumped Warbler
29 Ruby-crowned Kinglet

Good Birding
