What were you doing on Sunday? The flocks of Whimbrel that arrived in Iceland today were leaving West Africa - and they have been flying for five days non-stop since then. Here's their story (written in 2022) wadertales.wordpress.com/2022/04/27/w... #ornithology

The last large flock of #btgodwits (almost 20K) in the Tagus estuary, perhaps waiting for better weather conditions to complete their northward migration. Much more colourful now as some #ruffs gather.

Also notable: Flocks of 200+ Pectoral Sandpipers have been foraging in freshly flushed rice - which appears to be crucial drought relief and perfect timing for the Texas coastal plain. Even better, today's unexpected steady rain just might expand habitat a bit longer, right as the Buffies arrive!

Spring migration note: Big flocks of Long-billed Dowitchers were still foraging at freshly flushed rice fields last week, while American Golden Plover numbers continue to rise along Texas coastal plain pastures.

How much effort have you put in this Valentine's Day? Research has revealed that male Ruff travel thousands of kilometres in search of mating opportunities over the course of the breeding season:

For the past few weeks, several thousand Sandhill Cranes have used a small complex of managed freshwater wetlands. Yesterday, I went for a peek. These inland wetlands are on private working lands along the midcoast of Texas, the same I monitor for shorebird use during migration. Beautiful to see.
