Hi y'all,
    Once the rain abated this afternoon, Chris Hill and I shuffled over to
the ponds and had a look-see. Fair number of species represented. Lots of
waders, good number of sandpipers.

D-c Cormorant - ad. and imm.
Anhinga
Great Egret
Snowy Egret
Little Blue Heron - ad. and imm.
Tricolored Heron
Cattle Egret
Green Heron
White Ibis - ad. and imm.
Glossy Ibis
Wood Duck
Blue-winged Teal
Common Moorhen - imm.
Semipalmated Plover
Killdeer
Lesser Yellowlegs - included one physically challenged ind. that apparently
has learned to cope quite well with its infirmity
Solitary Sandpiper - truly
Spotted Sp.
Semipalmated Sp.
Least Sp. - most numerous species seen
Pectoral Sp. - 2 (considerable drop in numbers from a week or so ago)
Caspian Tern
Black Tern
Mourning Dove
Hummingbird sp. - (they're everywhere, they're everywhere)
Barn Swallow
Bank Swallow
Crow sp.
R-w Blackbird

    Around the compound, considerable increase in activity at my hummer
feeders from the past cpl of days, juv. Red-tail perched in the top of a
sycamore early this a.m., 3 smallish flocks of Canada geese on a SW heading,
and a purty li'l Redstart in addition to all of the usual suspects.

Cheers,
gary
