Hey friends,

A quick trip through Baskett Slough revealed a fair number of larger
shorebirds at the narrows:

7+ Greater Yellowlegs
2 Lesser Yellowlegs
7 Long-billed Dowitchers
1 Black-necked Stilt

This is the first time in a while that I have seen any dowitchers or groups
of yellowlegs at the refuge.  There isn't very much mud at the narrows yet,
but a lot of shallow water, so mud should appear soon enough with all this
heat.  Definitely worth a stop if you are driving by.

Cheers!
