I spent about an hour at Frohring Meadows this morning.

The wet meadow, quite dry now,  has completely grown in with cattails
and wildflowers, and the
  mud flats that used to attract migrating shorebirds  are  completely
vegetated.
  Unless the park decides to alter the management program to reduce
the vegetation, those of us who were able to enjoy the  shore birds
right in our
neighborhood will have to start trekking back to the lakeshore.  It
was fun for the first
couple of years, as the park took shape.

Lots of bobolinks.
Orchard orioles
Eastern kingbirds
Flickers
Sparrows - song, savannah, field (and the usual unidentified blurs)
Warblers - yellow and common yellowthroat
