We saw 80 species on our weekly bird census.
American Bittern are still hanging out in Taylor Pond and there is also a 
Pied-billed Grebe nest visible in Taylor marsh from Wildlife Dr. Least Terns 
are starting to return and the refuge maintenance personnel are working 
feverishly on a floating nesting island which should be finished next week.  We 
really need some rain to bring up the lake level.  The marshes still have some 
water and the pumps will start running tomorrow to bring up the level in 
Muleshoe marsh and the southern most marsh on Wildlife Dr. The refuge really 
looks good now and there are still Bobolinks in the fields of vetch near 
Silliman Rd.
