Thanks to Bill and Joe for leading the way today. The two Red-shouldered
Hawks perched together was indeed an excellent show.

The water level at the Broadlands Wetlands was quite low, so we did not
find many water fowl species in the 30-40 minutes we spent there. The
three stubborn birders who stuck it out to the end, however, were rewarded
with a look at the snipe. Additions to the day's list at
Broadlands:Red-shouldered Hawk 2
