We tallied 60 species today.  Ducks, Geese and Sparrows are starting to show 
up.  Shorebirds were here in good numbers and species. They are widely 
scattered though.  A good spot has been just before the bridge on Wildlife Dr. 
Lots of gulls and a good mixture of ducks on the island off the end of Plover 
pad.
