Hey friends,

I am working on adding my photos to my ebird checklists, so I thought I
would share with you all too. None of these are really very good pictures
as far as photography goes, but they do show some of the rare birds that
have been seen at Baskett Slough in the last couple weeks.  It has really
been an amazing place this May.

There have also been numerous Black-necked Stilts, Wilson's Phalaropes, and
Red-necked Phalaropes, but I haven't gotten a chance to get photos of those
yet..  I look forward to seeing what the rest of the month holds!

Cheers friends!

PS:  If anyone happens to see either Black Terns or Western Kingbirds
around Baskett Slough area, I'd love to hear about it.
