More Shorebirds at the Tatamy Exit Retention Pond ~ July 20, 2025

After mowing my mom's yard, I stopped at the Tatamy Exit retention pond. This new pond has been showing some real potential lately. I picked out a very early Pectoral Sandpiper, 2 Lesser Yellowlegs, a Spotted Sandpiper, and 2 Least Sandpipers among 13 Killdeer.

A Green Heron was also standing there along the edge of the pond.

I will definitely be stopping here more often during the shorebird season.

A stop at the Newburg Road retention pond produced a Great Blue Heron at the pond and 13 Killdeer in the grassy field by the hospital.
