I was also at Eagle Bend (Clinton) today from 10:15 - 10:50am. No Avocet either but I did find an American Widgeon mixed in with some Mallards and Gadwall on the deep, squarish pond to the left(east) of the road. This is the first i've seen here. The upper pond was drained with only 13 American Coot walking around. A Cooper's Hawk was perched along the river.
