Observation details
***RARE, extremely so to have a grounded flock at the reservoir! This has been a high reporting year for Whimbrel flyovers in the county, too. A fantastic find by Paul Driver. The birds were present for an hour or less, until the geese ran them off around 8:45. These were very large shorebirds, dark brown with pale stripes on the head and very long, down curved bills. They mostly sat quietly, although some birds preened and one took a bath. Their flight calls could be heard as they circled and flew WNW. A state lifer for me!
