5/14 Hwy 79 Corridor

Hwy 79 Corridor • Firma and Dalbow Roads • Clarance Cannon National Wildlife Refuge

Started out at the intersection of Firma and Dalbow Roads and immediately found the Hudsonian Godwit. Paul and a few other birders arrived a short time later and found Stilts, White-rumpeds, Phalaropes and Dowitchers. After shooting, seems like, 100k or more photos we went up to Clarance Cannon NWR. Hardly any shorebirds were found but we did see a group of more then 35 (counted) Long-billed Dowitchers hidden in the weeds. We returned on the way home to see the Godwit.
