[birdky] Sloughs Highland Creek Unit birding & EC Doves

I did some birding this afternoon. Turned out to be contrary to the 
forecast: it was windy, overcast, 48 degrees.

Before I got to the Highland Creek Unit I saw 2 EC Doves at the 
intersection of 141 & 359 in Union Co in a muddy pig lot.

Saturday.
