As of around noon, the American Avocet was still at the "pumping station"
parking area. It was in the pool to the right and within about 50 yards -
the 1st island.  Other shorebirds of various sizes ~ 30-40 were seen further
out but were mostly silouettes, under 15-20 mph winds.  Killdeer, Greater
Yellowlegs and peeps for sure.

Four (2 pairs (or at least acting paired)) Black-necked Stilts were at the
TR 80 site south of Bellevue.  1 pair was on the far shore of the first pool
and the second were on the "rise top" around halfway back to the second pool
(i.e. on high and dry ground)  both couples were doing more sitting then
standing and would have been easily overlooked if they had not moved around
on occasion.

Also at the latter site were 2 Ruddy Ducks, a Pied-billed Grebe, a Common
Coot and several Killdeer, GB Herons and Great Egrets.
