I stopped by the Hoover Nature Preserve boardwalk yesterday after
work. Initially the Little Blue Heron was on the mud bar midway
between the boardwalk and the osprey platform. Sometime while I was
watching shorebirds, it was displaced by a Great Egret and a Great
Blue Heron. I couldn't relocate it in the immediate vicinity.

Water levels are up a bit, which pushed the shorebirds closer to the
boardwalk. I saw nothing unusual and did not check the northeastern
shore for the Willet.

Shorebirds:

Semipalmated Plover
Greater Yellowlegs
Lesser Yellowlegs
Solitary Sandpiper
Semipalmated Sandpiper
Least Sandpiper
Short-billed Dowitcher

Happy birding,
