Glendale Recharge Ponds

After taking my son to the airport on Sunday September 7th my wife and I made a quick stop at the Glendale Recharge Ponds. For once the wet ponds were closest to the entrance and we were able to start looking through the waders (shorebirds) almost as soon as we arrived. A number of Western Sandpipers were scattered through the Least Sandpipers and I found a few of the larger Bairds. But the birds of the day were a pair of Black Terns - a long awaited state bird for me.My sixth state bird of the year.

Killdeer
Least Sandpiper
Long-billed Dowitcher
