Just received an ebird alert of both species at Montezuma today. No details of where or when except that it was today, August 2nd. We certainly did not have these two species today but it is a huge area. Wish the report would have had details on when and where in the wetlands complex. Well, something for others to search for next couple days....hope these reports are indeed confirmed.
