In order I birded Grassy Pond/Powells Lake fluddle, Mill Pond Road fluddle, and
Horseshoe Road slough.
Highlights:
1 Least Tern, I continue to occasionally see 1 at HRs
1 Lesser Yellowlegs at Mill Pond Road slough
3 nice bucks across HRs slough in the soybeans. JPG for anyone who wants to see.
Horseshoe Road slough has yet to develop any good shorebird habitat.
Spotty rains yesterday just made the sloughs water edges muddier but did not
add any appreciable level to the water.
