The nasty west wind severely reduced the number of birds present around the lake today. The avocets, white-faced ibis and one Marbled Godwit remained. We did have a simultaneous flyover of a Swainson's Hawk and a Long-billed Curlew. The Swainson's flew east with the wind and the Curlew gave up trying to fly west and landed on a sand spit in the Fish Creek arm of the lake. I last saw it about 10:45.
