We found 67 species of birds.  Standouts were the family of Blue-winged Teal 
and the Reddish Egret which was first seen last Saturday.  We also saw young 
Wood Ducks in Mineral Marsh and a Pied-billed Grebe sitting on a nest. They are 
pumping water into the marshes which should make for some good summer 
shorebirds.  An even dozen Red-headed Woodpeckers is also quite good.
