All, Below are a couple of ebird lists from my sightings this afternoon. The first list is from Magee boardwalk and causeway. A lot of activity and should get better over the next week. I also had FOY Brown Thrasher in the yard this morning. The second list is at the Boss Unit. Water is high and shorebirds are in the back. The third list was a surprise. This is a flooded field about a mile south of the Boss Unit just before crossing Packer Creek. This list is only half of the shorebirds and ducks present. I had to return home about a mile away the get my scope. Unfortunately when I returned, the property owner was present with his dog and all the birds were gone. That’s birding for you.
