Siberian Eastern Yellow Wagtail, Siberian Pipit, Red-throated Pipit
Among a flock of several dozen Eastern Yellow Wagtails and Red-throated Pipits, there was one Siberian Eastern Yellow Wagtail. This season the numbers of Eastern Yellow Wagtails and Red-throated Pipits have been low — quite disappointing.

While I was watching the shorebirds, a Peregrine Falcon showed up at its usual spot. It had its eye on a Eurasian Coot, but a light truck passed by and it flew off somewhere.
