[obol] Shorebird Survey Pelton Dam

[Craig Miller]

Hi all,

I conducted a shorebird survey at the Pelton Reregulation Dam near Warm 
Springs, Jefferson County this morning.

Perhaps the most interesting observation was an actively singing 
BLACK-THROATED SPARROW. I believe this is only the second record for the 
county. Unfortunately, the location is inaccessible to the public. There 
were also 3 CASPIAN TERNS, 3 YELLOW-BREASTED CHATS, and 1 BLACK-CAPPED 
CHICKADEE, all fairly difficult to find in the county.

Shorebirds included:

Killdeer - 16
GREATER YELLOWLEGS - 2
Spotted Sandpiper - 9
Western Sandpiper - 7
Least Sandpiper - 12
