Good morning for shorebirds.
I had 7 Least Terns in air, on the sandy ground, and on the gravel road.
They were flying around me as if I was close to nests, especially on the sandy
ground next to the slough.
Never saw any on nests though.
All the fields have been planted, mostly beans. I walked in the spray rig
tracks when possible.
