The landfill was really beautiful on a quite a breezy late afternoon. An hour birding highlights were 2 grasshopper sparrows on one of the side paths close views (I saw no evidence of breeding); numerous bobolinks +/-15 males in various molt stages, one willow flycatcher by ball field parking lot, and 2 bald eagles soaring virtually entire time one adult and one young bird being harassed by a crow (until the adult came over).
