RAIN!! Oh, well, back to the topic at hand. I stopped by Tule Lake in Corpus Christi today and scared a Green Heron out from under the boardwalk. Also enjoyed watching the residents ignoring the RAIN! There were two Yellow-crowned Night Herons, one posing with wings akimbo, so to speak; one Royal Tern; one Reddish Egret; about 6 Wilson's Phalaropes flew in as I sat in the gazebo plus lots of Am. White Pellies, Least and Western Sandpipers, a couple dowitchers, gulls, white egrets and a family of stilts. On to Wood Stork Pond (as I call it) on the Joe Fulton Corridor -- man oh Manischewitz! 30-ish each of Wood Storks and Roseate Spoonbills, lots of peeps (though I stayed in the car and did not identify them because it was RAINING!), stilts, White Ibis, egrets and herons, Mottled Ducks --- all crammed on that little pond. What a lovely sight!
