The past three mornings I have gone to Craney Island. Best birds are
probably the 5-7 American Avocets seen in the south impoundment. Four
species of tern were also seen (Least, Gull-billed, Royal, and Caspian). I
saw a Clapper Rail too. The south impoundment has the largest expanse of
mudflats. Today there was the largest numbers of shorebirds (>1200 peep,
100 yellowlegs). Haven't seen anything rare yet, but couldn't check
everything because of lack of time and far distance to the birds.
