5698 Aggressive Posture
On the NE side of the slough there is a small kind of 'beach' which has yielded good shorebirds this year. Today there was a mixed flock of around 40 Stilt, Semipalmated and White-rumped sandpiper. Lots of foraging and aggressive behaviour, even between species. The black spots on the water are midge cases. Dale took a handful of mud and water and there were also a number of small worms. Seems to be a super productive spot. No wonder it is so popular. Brown slough, Condie, Saskatchewan, Canada. 27 May 2022
