I have been remiss in not posting earlier. Had what appeared to be 2 species of Godwits in the Refuge. Bill differences, color differences, and underwing patch differences made me wonder. Orchard Oriolefly-by at Cross-Lakes. The Avocets were still wearing the cinnamonplumage. 2 Moorehens er Common Gallinules and one Coot in the open water. With the 107F heat and minimal humidity (!!) it was actually pleasant under shade and the 'gators and 'skeeters were taking a holiday. Dedicated the Al Clarke pavilion at the refuge. I'll miss him.
