Both Black-necked Stilts were still at 739 Pond today. They were in flight 
circling the pond when I first saw them - probably agitated by a Red-tailed 
Hawk flyover. The Ring-necked Ducks were also there, plus a large brood of 
Mallards. A large Cottonwood tree had fallen into the pond since the last time 
I was there. The Wood Duck brood took cover in the boughs of this fallen tree 
when I went down to see if it had fallen or been cut. One bordering field of 
wheat had been thrashed since I was last there and a combine was harvesting the 
other bordering wheat field today. 
     I circled the grassy parking area before walking down to the pond and 
again before leaving. Came up with nothing but a Song Sparrow. I was about to 
leave when a Savannah Sparrow appeared in the open about 15 feet from my truck. 
It crossed the road on foot and began working its way along the right-of-way 
picking at ladino clover seed heads. It stayed in view for quite a while, but 
never in one spot long enough for me to get but one rather poor shot of it plus 
several shots that contained nothing but empty right-of-way.
