Hi birders,

This morning a juvie GOLDEN-PLOVER was on Pelican Island, looked like a
PACIFIC to me by structure and plumage though it was too far away to count
the primaries. Alongside it were the continuing FRANKLIN'S GULL,
SANDERLING, 3 MARBLED GODWITS, 3 AMERICAN AVOCETS, 3 BLACK-NECKED STILTS,
several SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHERS among the Long-billeds, and many other
shorebirds (all best seen with a scope). Two SOLITARY SANDPIPERS were
inside the cottonwood-lined pond next to the viewing platform, and another
SOLITARY was at the otherwise desolate "scrape" pond to the southeast.

Good birding,

Noah Strycker
