Dell and I spent about 2 hours at Richland Creek WMA North Unit this
morning. In 2 hours, we probably only covered about 1/4th of the entire
area. All birds were seen in Navarro County unless otherwise noted. Most
shorebirds were seen in Cell 17. Water has been added to Cell 21 which was
good last weekend.....not good today. We did not make it to Cell 10 that
was good last weekend. Still LOTS OF WADERS not completely accounted for
