While in Canning today I checked out the Habitant River by the Legion Hall for ducks and noted the water level was not only very low but possibly as a result of the shallow depth 50 Yellowlegs sp. were 'resting' in the river along with 60 Mallards and 34 Black Ducks. I heard Lesser Yellowlegs calling but was unable to get an accurate breakdown of Gtr. vs. Lsr. because the view was limited. Before Harris' Pond behind the Baptist Church in Canning was flooded a number of years ago, raising the water level dramatically, dozens of roosting yellowlegs could be found there standing on fallen trees that lay in the water or along the pond edges during their Fall migration. Although I did attempt to check out Harris' Pond where I heard a Lsr Yellowlegs calling, the pathway is so overgrown that it is impassable and I had retreat without seeing if there was an area where shorebirds could gather.
