An estimated 3000 Wilson's Phalaropes and thousands of other shorebirds at the extreme southern end of Pleasure Island behind the dike between Hwy 82 and the Sabine Lake Rd... (not the marshy "southern impoundment" but further south) were found by myself, David Bell and Louis Debetaz. Short video taken with iphone through scope in high wind on Wednesday. This is just one of about 3 rapidly drying ponds visible from the top of the dike. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGnJkOsbncw Les Stewart Nacogdoches, TX "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle."
