I just had an Avocet way back in the pannes. Not currently visible to me, but I didn't see it fly. I'm not sure it'll be visible from the trail - this is way back left towards the duck blinds if you're looking from the trail. Good numbers of peeps including a Western Sandpiper in the drier pannes out here also.

Avocet was still present through at least 2:30 pm today, feeding actively in a shallow panne.  Certainly not visible from Eastern Trail.  We had to walk waaaaay back toward the northeast along the sort-of "trail" through the pannes before we got good looks.  It was farther along in the pannes, past an old hunting blind. Will upload photos to eBird.

(Also: what's up with GoogleGroups that you can't post from a mobile device?  Noticed that Matthew Gilbert also had trouble doing that this morning.)

I just noticed that problem as well. Strange. Seems like an "update" may have been done? That will be a pain when trying to send out an alert from in the field, but you should still be able to address an email to the group if you can access your email on a mobile device.
