This evening there were 5 Baird's Sandpipers, 2 Semipalmated Plover, 2 American Avocets and one each Willet, Greater Yellowlegs and Spotted Sandpiper. Add in the screaming and somewhat cranky Killdeer and that comes to a tidy seven shorebird species...not too bad for May 1.

A solitary White-faced Ibis was snoozing in the area as well.

Good birding,
Peter
