I was driving through the Corpus Christi area late this afternoon and I checked 
Tule Lake and Hazel Bazemore, spending about an hour at each.
 
I was looking primarily for shorebirds and counted 13 species at Tule and 9 at 
Hazel Bazemore, including 5 not seen at Tule, so 18 for the afternoon.  Also 
had 12 Wood Storks at Tule and a Green Kingfisher and Solitary Sandpiper 
at HB.  Complete lists follow.  Sonny Bratz, Victoria
