In our county we have a general lacking of shorebird habitat. However, when there is a good amount of rain timed right, farm puddles form. These “fuddles” become magnets to shorebirds and thanks to notification by a birder friend, we were able to see two lifer shorebirds for both Birdfreak and Veery {Hudsonian Godwit and Dunlin}.
Hudsonian Godwit, Dunlins, & Short-billed Dowitchers
The godwit is in the front by himself, the Dunlins are back left and the dowitchers are the two on the right.
Note: We are out in the field on our 72-hour bird count and will be posting our findings in the upcoming days. Stay tuned!!
To promote bird conservation through conservation marketing. By showing people the joys of birding, we hope to bring people and nature together, instead of at odds.
