Not much happening today.

I picked up Lesser Scaup for the trip.

Note on the Lesser that the eye is in front of the high point on the head, while it’s behind on the Greater.

An interesting side note. I had scattered some mealworms at the Fieldfare location (BTY, it hasn’t been seen since Saturday). Today, while checking to see if the Fieldfare was around, I saw a Lapland Longspur eating them! Unusual for what I thought was a seedeater.

Photographing these Wood Sandpipers is just too easy.

I had been mentioning to all of the birders that I met during the past few days that there hadn’t been any Bar-tailed Godwits. I’ve never had a May trip without them!

Well, today they arrived. Seen in multiple locations and in flocks.

I saw 17 at Clam Lagoon (too far for photos).

That brought my trip list to 81, which ties my biggest Spring trip list!

And there are at least 9 other species that have been seen since I arrived that I haven’t caught up to yet!
