Media notes
All Willets were calling and those flashing black and white wings were exciting to see. Unfortunately they only stayed about 10 minutes.
Observation details
There were a minimum of 31 Willets as I had one photo which shows 31. Initiallyw there was only a single bird and another 30 arrived after I had been scoping for a while. They were all excited and calling and all that flashing black and white in wings and tail was exciting to see. The entire flock initially landed on a dead tree about 200 or 300 yards out in lake then flew south toward me and looped around within 50 feet of shore at the boatramp. First time I have seen one at Turtle Creek Reservoir.
