Lake Davis Birds Recap

Still no rain and the lake continues to get lower with each passing day. For now, this is OK as it still keeps a few shorebirds around including Black-necked Stilts and a couple Lesser Yellow Legs.

We also have a few Least Sandpipers combing the nearby lake edges.

Still nice to see the female Green-winged Teal cruising the lake.

Though the biggest flock of young Mallard ducklings have dropped from 15 to 5, the older groups seem to be holding there own, traveling from the 'bird island' to the shore to find food.

A fun day to watch the lake but we really need rain.
