47 total species for the day.  Shorebirds continue to be hard to find because 
of shortage of habit accessible to birders birding from a vehicle.  Some of the 
marshes have been flooded on an ongoing basis but due to the heat the water 
evaporates and soaks in quickly.
3 Killdeer, 1 Spotted Sandpiper and 1 greater Yellowlegs were the only 
shorebirds to be found. The vegetation in some of the marshes is higher than a 
large tractor is tall. Some of the marshy areas are being mowed so this should 
help later in the fall. We did have a couple of Wilson's Warblers and a couple 
of Yellow Warblers.
