I parked at the railroad tracks and was treated to an opening seranade by a WEstern MEadowlark, then the rest of the trip was accompanied by the chorus of AMerican AVocets and Black-Necked STilts. Two Ring-necked PHEsants were just inside the fence with a LOggerhead SHrike sitting on the fence above them. Unusual sightings (at least for me) were two GReater SCaups, a single Northern SHOveler among the usual MALLards and GADWalls. A single Long-Billed Dowitcher was dwarfed among a group of 40 or so AMAVs and BNSTs. A group of 50 or so WIlson's Phalaropes were near the third island from the EEC and two BLack SKimmers were preening on the island. The biggest surprise of the day was a lone VAried THrush foraging on the ground under the owl box. Three HOoded ORioles chased each other among the bushes near the EEC building. A good day birding, now back to work. -- We come into this world crying while all around us are smiling. May we so live that we go out of this world smiling while everybody around us is weeping. - - Persian proverb _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
