The auto tour was pretty hot , humid, & buggy, but not without its
highlights.
Most of the shorebirds were seen at the first right hand turn past the
Crane Creek overpass.
Shorebird habitat was fair. Other highlights were the numerous Marsh
Wrens, some which allowed
great looks and a couple of groups of Common Moorhens with young.
