Hi All,
Jim and I spent the evening here. Jim Crites joined us and we enjoyed a
pleasant evening of birding. We only birded the west side. Jim C. had a couple
more birds on the east side, including a Spotted and Solitary Sandpiper, I
believe. Highlights included a bunch of Black-necked Stilts, a few Wilson’s
Phalaropes, a Peregrine, and Burrowing Owls.
