I'm not so sure you were wrong the first time. I went to the new Cedar Bridge site yesterday around noon and found Greater Yellowlegs and Lesser Yellowlegs walking plus what I believe were two phalaropes swimming. The birds were all distant. The size differences were pronounced and proportionat

I had a good morning today in the same places. Better weather, not quite as many birds. I did see and hear two Henslow's Sparrows near #31, several Sedge Wrens past that. Bobolinks were after the big hill on #26. I think I heard a Western Meadowlark just past them. Over between #14 and #15 I h
