Wildlife Drive is now partially open giving us access to the mudflats and we
had a fantastic morning of birding. We saw more than 600 Herons and Egrets and
that is without a single Cattle Egret. Steedman Marsh was teeming with birds
and we were able to locate a Snowy Plover. There and in Moist Soil Unit #7 we
saw 4 White Ibis, 27 Least Terns, 3 Black Terns and 36 Forster's Terns along
with lots of sandpipers. At the low water crossing on Bennett Rd. we saw 2
Wood Storks. In Meyer's Branch we saw 3 Tricolored Herons and a White-faced
Ibis. We finished the day with 55 species and were low in species of passerines
because we spent so much time looking at shorebirds.
