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.

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.

Tidewrack is not messy or smelly.
Tidewrack does not need to be cleared away.
Tidewrack should be left to provide foraging opportunities and places to keep cool/warm.

Short-eared Owl, today, at the ranch wetlands near Palacios.

Short-eared Owl, today, at the ranch wetlands near Palacios.
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.

Male Ruff travel thousands of kilometres in lekking season
A new study on Ruff movements has defied traditional ideas about bird migration and breeding, with some males covering up to 9,000 km in search of a mate during the nesting season.
