But I didn't see or hear any tern at all on this visit! I found only 8 shorebird species, of which the highlights were two LESSER YELLOWLEGS at the end of the central levee, and around 200 RED-NECKED PHALAROPEs on the west pond (as noted by Mike R. -- I didn't attempt to count them more exactly). Other birds included a BROWN PELICAN trailing a flyby flock of Whites, and a GREEN HERON in a typical location near the entrance. It was too windy to check the trees for landbirds. Probably of most interest: there were three (visible) fledgeling BARN SWALLOWs perched on vegetation along the central levee -- noisy and being fairly frequently fed. How unusual is this for mid-September? Al Eisner _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
