Spent more time today searching through the peeps and lo and behold nine
juvenile Least Sandpipers finally showed up. Also, over night arrivals
included a Long-billed Dowitcher and a juvenile Wilson's Phalarope. Numbers
are
down a little but any time spent is rewarded. I've added a few photos to
the 2011 gallery, especially good photo showing the difference in the bill
structure of male and female Avocets. As usual the distance and heat did not
help on the peep photos. If interested try.

I also added a series of photographs showing a brawl between a pair of
newly arriving Avocets and a pair of territorial Black-necked Stilts.
