I birded for a while early afternoon. A large amount of shore birds were 
initially present in the first three ponds until a Peregrine Falcon made a 
couple of high speed runs over the ponds to obtain a meal
2 Wilson's Phalaropes
8 short-billed dowitchers
2 dunlins
100-150 lesser and greater yellowlegs
5 solitary sandpipers
2 common snipes
5 semipalmated sandpipers
2 semipalmated plovers 
20 spotted sandpipers
1 forster's tern
1 greater white fronted goose
1 northern pintail
Northern shovelers
Blue-winged teals
gadwalls
3 ruddy ducks
4 great white egrets
1 sharp-shinned hawk (instead of taking flight, the yellowlegs all huddled 
together)
10 yellow warblers
5 yellow-rumped warblers
1 blue gray gnatcatcher
