[birdky] Fulton County - 8/21/08

We went for an afternoon/evening look at the existing shorebird  habitat in 
Fulton County.  We were not disappointed by what we found.   Our first stop was 
the upper Hickman bottoms.  Our next stop was Lake #9  where we stayed until 
the rain and dark motivated us toward home.
