This morning I checked activity on the mudflats at several areas at the
north end of Hoover Reservoir. While there I ran into Paul Gardner, Jeff
Grabmeir, Bob McNulty, Marcie Howden and several other birders. Activity was  constant
and moderate in all areas. The best is yet to arrive. The listing that
follows is a composite of my sightings and those of the others I spoke to. The
areas include Wiese Road, Area M off the boardwalk, the east shore from the
Eastshore Yacht Club north to Area N, and Oxbow Road.
