Regency Boulevard Ponds and Green Pond ~ July 30, 2022

A late day stop at the Regency Boulevard retention ponds produced 6 Pectoral Sandpipers, 2 Lesser Yellowlegs, and a Solitary Sandpiper among the numbers of Killdeer and several Spotted Sandpipers. The Pectorals and the yellowlegs were in the north pond while the Solitary was in the south pond.

Two Bank Swallows were also seen flying around with the Barn Swallows.
By the time I reached Green Pond, it was near sunset. There, I found around 180 Northern Rough-winged Swallows perched on the wires along Farmersville Road opposite the pond.
