The rain filled the Mud Hole with water and birds.  There were four duck
species (Mallard, Wood Duck, Blue-winged Teal, and Northern Shoveler with
BWT being the most numerous with about 40), a large flock of Yellowlegs
(more than thirty of Greater and Lesser combined), several Pectoral
Sandpipers, and at least one Dowitcher (likely Short-billed).  The field had
50+ Canada Geese.

 

Attached are a couple of photos showing the BWT and Yellowlegs in flight.
