Location:     Horseshoe Road slough
Observation date:     8/27/09 7AM to 9AM
Notes: Water disappearing. Most at NW end. Probably will not visit again this season. I watched 2 Lesser Yellowlegs with feeding behavior I had not seen them use before. They would open their bills, immerse them in the soupy, muddy water and sweep them back and forth while advancing.
