Great day!
FWIW, As I pulled into my yard on Hillaire two nights ago, i thought I saw
a BTPI fly west over Crabtree Hill. It was backlit and in the clear sky but
it sure looked like one to me.

Hello All,
Laura and I walked the loop around pond 5 in the Fisher Unit south of
Royal Ave this afternoon. Four MARBLED GODWITS flew across the reservoir
and appeared to land on the mudflats east of Perkins Peninsula. We were
unable to see them on the ground, but Gerry Meenaghan was able to see
them from Hwy 126 and confirm the ID. Nine WHITE-FACED IBIS were seen
flying across the south end of the refuge. They landed in the bit of
water at the south end of pond 6. The biggest surprise was seven
BAND-TAILED PIGEONS flying over the Fisher Butte barn, heading West /
Southwest. Several others have seen BTPI in the area recently. That was a
new one for me at this location. A complete list of our walk can be seen
here:
