[birdky] Minor Clark Report

I took a day of vacation today and visited Minor E. Clark fish hatchery.  Three 
ponds have been drained.  Each had a mixed group of shorebirds.  Here's what I 
saw:

Killdeer - 50+
Least Sandpiper - 20+
Semipalmated Sandpiper - 3
Baird's Sandpiper - 1
Spotted Sandpiper - 3
Kinfishers - 4
Green Heron - 25+
Great Blue Heron - 2
Great Egret - 1
Yellow-rummped Warbler - 1
Turkey Vulture - 17
Red-shouldered Hawk - 1
Canada Geese - 50+
Mallard - 8
Blue-winged Teal - 1
Eastern Kingbird - 3

I'm planning on going back on Labor Day.  By then there should be at least six 
more ponds drained and hopefully a wider variety of shorebirds.
