Jeff Gerbracht found a COMMON MOORHEN in the cattails in jetty woods along Fall Creek across from boathouse area at Stewart Park late this afternoon. I was able to refind the bird late this evening after a lot of searching, probably visible from Stewart Park halfway between the boathouse and Renwick (though I saw it from the golf course side.) Also present on the flooded areas on the golf course were two male BLUE-WINGED TEAL, eight GREEN-WINGED TEAL, two RING-NECKED DUCKS, two SOLITARY SANDPIPERS, and two GREATER YELLOWLEGS. A little earlier in the evening I saw seven COMMON TERNS offshore, three flying and four sitting on a piece of plywood straight offshore from Stewart Park.
