Yesterday was the first day I have found shorebirds at Phipps Bend this year, 
possibly corresponding with the current low water level.  (There were several 
more shorebirds than listed below that I could not identify from a distance 
[sandpiper sp.?].)  I enjoyed a nice paddle with Susan Hubley on John Sevier 
Lake in the evening in near perfect weather after the rain.
