Am. Golden Plover
Semipalmated Plover
Greater Yellowlegs
Lesser Yellowlegs
Pectoral Sandpiper
Dunlin  25+

Ring-billed and Bonaparte's Gulls were present as well
as Coots and Pied-billed Grebes.  Then number of
waterfowl increased today with the same species
present as reported yesterday.

A Peregrine Falcon molting into its first adult
plumage made one pass over the lake.  A pair of
juvenile Northern Harriers worked the lake edges all
day keeping the shorebirds moving.
