I visited Sunrise Valley Park at about 8:00 am before the real heat arrived and
saw the following birds. Highlights were the Great Egret which is still
hanging around and two Solitary Sandpipers. If they ever stop mowing the grass
where it is to be kept as meadow we might see a few other birds. Signs are
posted not to mow so there is hope of return of the grasses.
