During a brief birding trip this morning with Duane Rice and his wife Nita and 
mother Mary we found an Am. Avocet  feeding in the water. Always a great bird.  
Not many birds there initially. Did find two Lesser Yellowlegs, a Greater 
Yellowlegs, 20-30 Bluewing Teal, a flock of Lesser Sandpipers flew in,a Merlin 
which dispersed all the Sandpipers.  The Merlin hung a round for a while. The 
Avocet went low in the water at first and then went to the grass and stayed 
hidden.  The Vultures are very present today, both Black and Turkey. We also 
went by and visited the Barn Owl who was home. It sat there for a while and let 
us look before it took off and flew out a window and then Mary also got to see 
it.  

The habitat at Jolly's Landing will be wet for a while and good for shore birds.
