アメリカウズラシギ、ベニバト、カタグロトビほか
アメリカウズラシギの幼鳥が2羽飛来しました。ぴかぴかの幼羽で美しい個体です。アメリカウズラシギを見ているとカタグロトビが定時よりも早く登場。狩りをすることなく、すぐにいなくなってくれました。^^;
今季初のベニバトは3羽飛来ですが、猛禽類に警戒してしまっているようで見にくかったです。

Another Buff-breasted Sandpiper — also a juvenile.
While watching the Buff-breasted Sandpipers, a Black-winged Kite appeared.
It turned around and left almost immediately. Relieved the Buff-breasted Sandpipers weren't flushed. ^^
A flock of Buff-breasted Sandpipers, Long-toed Stints, and Red-necked Stints.

An adult female Pale-backed Pigeon. There are three birds in total including a male, but they won't come out — wary of raptors. The children who came along started calling for home, so we called it a day here.
