[QUOTE="Owen Krout, post: 3400378, member: 131330"] [b]May 16, 2016[/b] Dug through the 315 photos and got some new tics verified and am finally finished with the report for today. I decided that it was such a perfect day that I would make the trip down to Yingkou and check out the Liao River Estuary again. After a short side trip to check out what I thought might be a good area on the Dawa side of the river, which proved to be nothing, I went back to the Yingkou Wetlands Park. The reeds were growing fast and before I even made it to the river I had found a nice [B]Brown Shrike[/B] and several [B]Asian Brown Flycatcher[/B]. One of the latter posed nicely on a nearby fence. Also a [B]Black-Napped Oriole[/B] flushed from the trees and I got a good look, but again, no photo. Several small birds flushed from the reeds but were too quick to ID, (Reed Warblers?) It was low tide and the mudflats were dotted with Sandpiper and Plover feeding. The big numbers were [B](100) Lesser Plover, (75) Curlew Sandpiper and (50) Dunlin[/B]. I would estimate that over about 1000 meters there were in excess of 300 birds. Another 100+ were in another group that I couldn't get any closer to than about 500 meters due to the ground still being muddy and having standing water from the rains. They still made an impressive picture when they all suddenly flushed and wheeled about. I had several small warbler? in the bushes that I was never able to ID. They stayed well hidden only giving brief glimpses of movement and never a clear look. They had a call that first gave them away that sounded almost more like an insect buzz. Ended the trip the same as it started, with a nice Brown Shrike.
