[Rout1515@xxxxxxx]

Hi All:

  Took advantage of the nice weather and a canceled appointment and journeyed 
over to Cross Creeks Wildlife Refuge in Steward County.  Was ever so glad to 
find the gates open since my last trip there 2 weekends ago.  Today we were 
treated to the following birds:

Blue-winged Teals (22 or so)
Pied Billed Grebes  (2)
Cardinals
Bluebirds
Great Blue Herons (12-15)
Coots
Crows
Red-winged Blackbirds
Canada Geese
Meadowlarks
Killdeer
Grackles
Osprey (2)
Bald Eagles (2)
Morning Doves
Black Swan (probable "escapee" mingling with the Canada geese)
American Wigeon (4)
Clift Swallows
Red-tailed Hawk
Snipes (4)  down from the 150 of 2 weeks ago
Great Egret (1)  in beautiful plumage
Lesser Yellowlegs  (3)
Greater Yellowlegs (1)
Unidentified "LBJ's"

No signs of any Ring-billed or Bonaparte Gulls today as opposed to the 
several dozen of each wandering through 2 weeks ago. A most enjoyable 
afternoon!
