Folks:

      This morning, 5/22/2003, I walked up Llagas Creek from Bloomfield along 
the west levee and returned by the east levee.  I joined Mark Paxton for part 
of the time.  Water remains in some of the old ponds and we saw the usual 
summer ducks: GADWALL, MALLARD, CINNAMON TEAL, and NORTHERN SHOVELER.  All 
have nested in these ponds in the past, Gadwall and Mallard on a regular 
basis.  I had four noisy GREEN HERONS along the creek and would have traded 
them for a bittern.  A partially-leucistic BLACK-NECKED STILT was striking.  
Mark found a SPOTTED SANDPIPER in one of the ponds; from our distance it 
appeared mostly in basic plumage.  Neither Mark nor I heard chats walking in, 
but a distant call as Mark started back was suggestive.  Later, coming back 
the east levee I heard a YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT singing about the creek center 
not far from where one has been found regulaly on the west levee.  This was 
about 1015 hr.

      					Bill
