Shorebirds

It's that time of year when the shorebirds migrate south, which means it's time to start checking the Walla Walla River Delta, Bennington Lake and other areas where there is mud along the shore.  Long-billed dowitchers have already been seen at Tyson Ponds and Bennington Lake, and MerryLynn saw a greater yellowlegs at Bennington Lake on August 1.  Who knows what will show up this year.  Remember it was late August last year when the Wilson's plover made its appearance at Bennington Lake!
