Sue Barth located this scaly-backed Baird’s Sandpiper at Winter’s Pond in Langford on the 6th. Located in southern Erie County, this pond has been drained recently and has created superb shorebird habitat! Photo by Barth.

Charlie Kaars found this fresh juvenile Wilson’s Phalarope at the Ridge Lea Retention Ponds on the 8th. Several years ago during spring, this pond held an adult pair of Wilson’s Phalaropes. Amazing how a small man-made wetland, sandwiched between the 290 and Niagara Falls Blvd, can pull in such great birds!

Chris Hollister was able to catch up with Charlie’s Wilson’s Phalarope at the Ridge Lea Retention Ponds on the 8th. Note the bold pale eyebrow, small-headed plump body and golden highlights to the scapulars and tertials.
