Water flowed in slowly and has already stopped.  The change didn't seem to
disturb the ducks - all the usual species were easy to spot from either
Ebony or Kiskadee deck today.  The deck at Hog Trail (off of Flycatcher) is
still dry.
A Yellow-bellied Sapsucker was working the trees close to the tram road
today.  It can regularly be found along the road between the corner at
Mesquite Trail and North Mexican Olive Trail.

Another nice surprise was a Wilson's Snipe at the 2nd bridge - working the
mud on the left side - and three Common Yellowthroat.  We haven't been
seeing many recently.
