I’ve picked up at least six recently, and usually see ten or fewer recipients listed on each of the ones I’ve received.
Anyone else seeing this, and should we reply to the senders so they know their computers are doing this?
Or is this a broader problem, like something more to do with IBLE than with a few computers?
Thanks, Larry
I could only muster up 4 of the 6 American Golden-plovers when I stopped by this evening, that had been reported yesterday (Kathy) and again this morning (Cheryl) at the spillway. I was glad to see the 4 though, and there could easily have been a couple more resting in the rocks out of sight. Probably 1,000 gulls or so present too. Lots of rain/wind storms in the vicinity; hopefully the weather won’t drive them on south for awhile yet.

Lake Walcott Spillway is very low now as a new boat ramp is being built. I asked the construction guys if they cared I was there and they don’t mind- just be careful around the equipment. Very little water being let out which is forming small pools of water and attracting a lot of birds. Gulls gulls and more gulls
( 5 sp) seen this morning but I certainly could have missed a Mew or something else more rare. Seeing 6 American Golden plovers was a real treat! And a white-throated sparrow popped up in front of me when I phished the song sparrows to take a break from scoping. Morning light is best and bring a scope for best viewing.

This fall migration is just plain…weird. The usual winter resident Townsend’s Solitaires & DE Juncos (Oregon & Pink-sided) are showing. A few White-crowned Sparrows & Am Robins are present. And the House Finches, BC Chickadees & Am Goldfinches are coming to the feeders.
Then, just a bit ago, a Blue Jay appeared at the sunflower seed platform feeder. Striking in its different blue hues. Stayed for about 5 minutes, gulping seeds & calling loudly. It’s been several years since I’ve had one appear.
