hi ... to add to Andy's list ...
we had 2 Red-Necked Phalaropes on Bybee and at the blind on Smith we had a
Pectoral and 4 or 5 Leasts ... 6 Am White Pelicans landed too ... then on the
way back we stopped at the Slough where we had probably 100 Pelicans circling
overhead ... couldn't get a good count because of the trees ...
impressive number of Great Egrets out there ... just no little short ones ...

I did not see the Snowy Egret, but there were 316 GREAT EGRETS (168 on Smith
and 148 on Bybee), many GREAT BLUE HERONS and a GREEN HERON was in the slough
on the right as you come in.
There was a remarkable decrease in shorebirds from 2 days ago. There were
Killdeer both lakes, and 2 SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS and 2 LEAST SANDPIPERS seen
from the Canoe Launch on Smith Lake. Bybee had 1 RED-NECKED PHALAROPE and
KILLDEER but I did not see any other shorebirds. The hundreds of peeps that
had been on the far shore of Bybee were all gone. Someone I met had earlier
seen 2 Lesser Yellowlegs.
But it was a good day for warblers with WILSON'S, YELLOW, ORANGE-CROWNED,
BLACK-THROATED GRAY, and COMMON YELLOWTHROAT.
