Got here around 130 pm and as expected viewing conditions are brutal. First southbound shorebirds present. or left over spring migrants? Had 5 GREATER YELLOWLEGS, 2 PECTORAL SANSPIPERS. The birds are in and out of the weeds by the water's edge close to where a few weeks go there were many peeps, plovers etc. In addition, there is a SNOW GOOSE that does not appear injured as it was flying at times. Also present are 3 COMMON TERNS among 21 CASPAIN TERNS and 2 RING BILLED GULLS. There is at least 19 GREAT EGRETS. Also 1 NORTHERN SHOVELOR, many GREEN WINGED TEALS. I plan on returning later before I head home for better lighting.
