Walden and Sawhill Ponds are fantastic this time of year.  Shorebirds are migrating through the ponds and marshes of this lovely wildlife area. We may find Marbled Godwits, Short and Long-billed Dowitchers, Long-billed Curlews, Whimbrels, Phalaropes, Sandpipers, Ploves, Ibis, Avocets or Black-necked Stilts.  The ponds should also feature Cinnamon and Blue-winged Teals as well as a host of other ducks that haven’t yet left.  As a bonus, it is also the peak of migration for Broad-winged Hawks.  Plus warblers have started showing up, including Orange-crowned, Yellow-rumped, and almost anything else.

Where to Meet: Meet at the Cottonwood Marsh (Walden Ponds) parking lot off of 75th Street.  Bring the usual gear, good walking shoes, hats, water, snacks, scopes and binoculars.
