Most of the ponds have been drained, included to two big ones so there were
no Horned Grebes.   Also, there weren't quite as many birds as in the past.
The only different thing I saw was a White Snow Goose.  The Blue Morph is
still there.

Something flew overhead and sent the shorebirds (one of the only times I
could get them all in a drained pond) scrambling and in sheer terror.   It
had a black head and was smaller than a red-tailed hawk.....falcon perhaps?

A quick list:
Snow Goose...white and blue morph
15 Greater Yellowlegs (continued to stay in the grass along the edge of two
ponds)
3 Dunlin
Many Killdeer
3 Pectoral Sandpipers
5 Pied-Billed Grebes
Great Blue Herons 
Canada Geese
1 Coot 
2 Blue Winged Teal
Mallards 
Osprey 
Kestrel
3 Ring Billed Guls
Belted Kingfisher
Crows
Turkey Vultures
Starlings
Yellow Rumped Warblers
Northern Flicker
Downy Woodpecker

I took some pictures again but not many.  However, I have a couple of
unusual ones that you might like to see.  I've added them to the others. As
before, use the slide show at the top and any vertical image needs to be
clicked on again to get the full size.  Enjoy!!
