Larry Gara and I trucked up to Buck Creek this morning in search of the
Scissor-tailed Flycatcher.  We ran into Brian Menker, who told us that no
one had reported today (13 May) and we confirmed that pretty readily.  What
we did find was six species of swallows, all visible from the walk along the
top of the dam in copious numbers.  Obviously a big movement day.

Over on the beach we found a nice collection of birds tucked up in the lee
of the causeway at the south end.  There were three Caspian Terns, three
Common Terns and a Forster's Tern mixed in with five or six Herring Gulls
and about two dozen Ring-billed Gulls. At the eater's edge, we found a
Sanderling, a Least Tern and at least nine Spotted Sandpipers.

Cheers,

Bob
