Interesting Birds Continue at Regency Boulevard Ponds ~ July 15, 2022

After finding 48 Killdeer and 5 Least Sandpipers at the West Gremar retention pond in the late afternoon, I continued over to the Regency Boulevard retention ponds where the pair of Blue-winged Teal, the Ruddy Duck, and the Pied-billed Grebe continued in the north pond.

Five Least Sandpipers were feeding along the edge of the north pond.

Several Chimney Swifts zipped around over the ponds. I was lucky to get a few photos of one of them showing the spines on the tail that helps support them in the chimney similar to the way a woodpecker's tail does on a tree trunk.
