It was a great morning with 13 species of shorebirds at Delta Lake in Hidalgo 
County north of Elsa.  The water on the east side is even lower than before.  I 
walked the north shore from FM 88 and didn't see a lot.  Then I walked through 
the cattails from the pavilion in the county park to access the west and south 
shore of the east side where I found most of the following.
