I hit Horseshoe Road slough, 268 slough, and the Shore Bird Unit this
afternoon 9/13. I was looking for Black-bellied or Am. Golden Plovers
but no luck this time.

Horseshoe Road slough is getting small. It must be down to 1/30th of
its spring size. Hopefully the coming cold front will bring some rain
to keep it from drying out again.
I checked the Shore Bird Unit. The water is too high for most
shorebirds, a lot of it weedy, and the muddy part is where the ground
has been disc-up so its not very conducive to shorebirds. A few ducks
on the far side. I assume but am not sure that they are pumping water
into it.
