Today I thought I'd visit some Sloughs areas that I have been neglecting recently.

Other Highlights:

Semipalmated Plovers (everywhere there was water)

Chipping Sparrow
13 diff. warbler sp.
A pair of Mallards at Horseshoe Road slough

Tennessee W. were singing like mad but almost impossible to see. Very stealthy. The only rare glimpses I got was when they weren't singing. They were everywhere in Cape Hills.
