It was a good day of birding at the refuge with a total of 88 species.
Highlights of the day were Merlin near entrance to Plover.  Louisiana 
Waterthrush on Big Mineral Creek at end of Meadow Pond Rd.  5 Wild Turkeys on 
way to Meadow Pond.  Pair of Wood Ducks sitting in a tree at Dead a Woman Pond. 
 The mud flats off the end of Plover were full of shorebirds including 1 
Black-necked stilt, 127 American Golden-Plover, 240 Baird's Sandpipers, 103 
Least Sandpipers, 113 Pectoral Sandpipers and 152 Long-billed Dowitchers there 
and in the marshes. We got a good look at a Hairy Woodpecker on the road to 
Goode. The white egrets are back in good numbers.
