Willets (click to see the larger version)

I ran over to Montrose this afternoon, May 15, to see if there were any large shorebirds on the beach. I was rewarded with 4 Willets roosting in Lake Montrose*, just outside the protected area. From the coast to the Great Plains with a brief stop at Montrose in between.

*Lake Montrose refers to the pool of water that forms on Montrose Beach after a heavy rain.
