Dead Woman Pond was alive with bird activity this morning. Birds of special 
interest were Summer Tanager, Eastern Wood-Pewee, Pileated Woodpecker, 4 
Mississippi Kites.  Out on the lake we observed a flight of 43 Black Terns and 
another flight of 30 White-faced Ibis along with 5 Least Terns and 4 Forster's 
Terns.  Steedman Marsh and MSU 10 have been flooded and look great for 
shorebirds but we only saw a group of Killdeer and 3 Solitary Sandpipers there. 
 In the past week we observed Buff-breasted Sandpipers and Upland Sandpipers in 
these areas. Blue-winged Teal are starting to arrive.  We saw 3 Loggerhead 
Shrikes. We finished the day with 56 species.
