Several thousand shorebirds down at the pits (pit 4 has the biggest
concentration good looks from the north levee) as I write this. Saturday's
Avocet is still in the central Blkbelly whs. duck area with a couple of Blknk
stilts. 54 Blk Bellie wh ducks this afternoon w some young tagging along.
Scope is a must today with overcast and 84 degs.
Second Avocet found on pit 4 adult very curved beak still has some tan on neck.
1 Wilsons Phalarope, 2 Bairds SP. Thousands of least SP, mix up of Pects,
semipalmated westerns, Stilt SP, several Spotted and Solitary in the mix.
Couple hundred Killdeer and a hoard of starlings.
Flies are the worst I've seen in years.
Complet sightings report this eve to be posted.
