[Tweeters] Cedar River Delta (aka Cedar River Mouth)

[Odette James via Tweeters]

It's fall shorebird season at the Cedar River delta.  Finally the lake level is being rapidly lowered so that the sand and gravel of the delta is above water level, and the fall migrant shorebirds are here.  A quick look found a Pectoral Sandpiper and a Lesser Yellowlegs so far today, plus lots of peep and a Killdeer.  Plus Green and Great Blue Heron, Pintails, Wigeons, Shovelers, Green-winged Teals, in addition to the usual Gadwalls and Mallards (males finally getting their green heads back).  There was a single juvenile Snow Goose here for a time yesterday.  And of course the fall Great Coot Horde is rapidly assembling - always fun to watch.  So come check it out.  Boring summer is finally over, though there still is one Caspian Tern left over, not yet gone south with its buddies.
