This cold front is still adding birds to the mix at the Pits, Big Time! Up  
close and personal looks today at the following: 7 Golden-Plover, Killdeer, 11  
Black-necked Stilts, 18 Greater Yellowlegs, 165 Lesser Yellowlegs, 78 
Solitary  Sandpipers, 5 UPLAND SANDPIPERS, 390 Least Sandpipers, 782 Pectoral 
Sandpipers,  and 9 Wilson's Snipe. Struck out on Dunlin and Dowitchers.
 
Overall a real nice collection of Wind Birds to sort through.
 
Along the levee in MS where the Harlan's was hanging out the last couple of  
weeks we had a super white immature Krider's, from one extreme to the other 
and  Gail found an Osprey sitting off the road along the barrow pits on the way 
out  of the pits on Riverport Road. I got a photo this afternoon in the fading 
 light.
 
Good Birding  !!!
