Thanks for the info, Jennifer! I didn’t realize there were still Avocets around.

Hi All,
Went to check to see if there were shorebirds here this afternoon, but the
water levels are high. The vegetation in the water on the east side is at least
1/2 submerged. There were still 2 Spotted Sandpipers, 1 Avocet, and 6
Black-necked Stilts on the east side. The west side only had grackles and a
Great Blue Heron. I would recommend visiting on the weekend. They are preparing
the site just to the south for building and they are putting lots of dirt up in
the air.
