Unfortunately it turned out to be a crappy day with rain or drizzle the whole time I was there, so birding was limited.

Today I followed-up with the trash clean-up project from Saturday at Hoover
Reservoir. I went back into Areas M & N which weren't covered Saturday. I got
to combine birding with the clean-up. Shorebirds were somewhat slow this
afternoon. On the mudflats and sand spits between Area N and the boardwalk at
Area M there were 9 Greater Yellowlegs, 10 Dunlin, 3 Semipalmated Plovers and
many Killdeer but nothing else. There were several Common Terns skirting about,
23 Great Blue Herons clustered about, Double-crested Cormorants on a far
sand spit and an adult Bald Eagle perched off Wiese Road.
Land species were also limited. The more interesting finds included too many
Yellow-rumped Warblers to count, many White-throated Sparrows and a few
Swamp Sparrows, several Brown Creepers, a Pileated Woodpecker and a Barred Owl.
