I drove over to Chillicothe this morning in an attempt to see the Ruddy Turnstones and Black-bellied Plovers which were reported being in the Thompson River Wetland. Steve Kinder and I were not able to find these birds today but we did get a Common Moorhen, "some" shorebirds and things like Bell's Vireo, Yellow-breasted Chat, three Black Terns, one Franklin's Gull, a few Cedar Waxwings, one adult Bald Eagle. The shorebirds represented were: Killdeer, Pectoral, Semipalmated, Least and Spotted Sandpipers, Semipalmated Plover and Dunlin. Going back to Steve's home to pick up my car we were greeted by an Eurasian Collared-Dove which was at the feeder in the their yard. On the way back to Saint Joseph I stopped by Ridgeline Road (just east of Stewartsville) and managed to see and hear Western Meadowlarks, Bobolinks and Upland Sandpipers. Last weekend Steve Kinder and I were able to work in a quick trip out to Cheyenne Bottoms and Quivera over by Great Bend, KS. For anyone interested, you can take a look at how we did out there on my Kansas Birding Blog. http://kansasbirding.blogspot.com/ Larry Lade Saint Joseph, Buchanan County gckinglet AT wmconnect.com __________________________________________________ * Audubon Society of Missouri's * * Wild Bird Discussion Forum * *------------------------------------------------* * To unsubscribe send the message * * SIGNOFF MOBIRDS-L * * to [log in to unmask] * * To subscribe send the message * * SUBSCRIBE MOBIRDS-L your name * * to [log in to unmask] * *------------------------------------------------* * To access the list archives from July 2002 on: * * http://po.missouri.edu/archives/mobirds-l.html * * * * To access the Audubon Society of Missouri Web * * Site: http://www.mobirds.org * ##################################################
