Today was one of those days when you could have stayed out all day and still 
not of identified all the birds that were visible.  Shorebirds were there in 
numbers that were greater than any day in recent memory. I listed 1000 
unidentified shorebirds but the number was probably quite a bit higher. There 
were large amounts of shorebirds up and down both sides of the lake in the cove 
at the refuge. Many of the birds were too far away to identify. Adding to the 
problem were high winds and a bone chilling chill factor. The best bird of the 
day was probably a Peregrine Falcon sitting in a tree on Tern Pad.  We also saw 
2 adult Bald Eagles and it is highly probable that they have a nest somewhere 
on Big Mineral creek somewhere south of Bennett Lane.
