The Big Dead-Fish Clean-Up
A huge thank you to the volunteers who pitched in yesterday to remove all those dead fish from the Celery…
The first recorded Long-billed Dowitcher at the Celery Farm is stlil here, though even farther away from the Warden's Watch. (It was spotted by Fred Weber yesterday afternoon.)
Even with a scope, it is a distant look. When I saw it, it was on the right side of the lake just before the mouth of the big ditch.
It was too far away to take a decent shot with my camera, with a 400mm lens.
If you look for it, a scope is a good idea.
How now, brown Dow?
