Saturday I tagged along 'til lunch break with the Beckham Bird Club. 22 April 2007 SundayI visited Hardy Slough, Shorebird Unit, 268 slough, Pond Creek Marsh, Gentle Pond, and drove Straight Line Road. The river is up even more, flooding more of 268 slough and the area next to Straight Line Road reducing Shorebird habitat.
Highlights: Bald Eagle on the nest Am. Bittern near Gentle Pond Ring-necked duck at 268 slough Turkey Soras everywhere calling Solitary Sandpiper 4 at 268 slough E.
