["Scott & Glenda Record" <sgrecord@xxxxxxxx>]

Checked Mitchell at 3:30 this afternoon and found the Wilson's phalarope right 
where Hap and Melissa left it.  The large number of shorebirds that they 
reported were still there as well.  I did not locate the ibis but there were 
very few waders on Mitchell at the time.  I got a few decent pictures of the 
phalarope but the best picture was of my 6 year old losing his shoe in the mud 
and falling on his bottom.  This incident and the oppressive heat limited my 
opportunity to study the other shorebirds but was worth the trip in itself.  
Also checked Smokey road and found 12 Eur.C. doves on the west end of the road 
and several killdeer in the recently cut alfalfa fields.  Heavy rains in the 
last couple of hours were welcome and hopefully dropped a few things out as 
well.
