I apologize for the late post but after seeing all the posts about the 
willets at Hoover today, this news seems to have lost its luster.

Around 6:15 this morning, I saw a flock of about 30 willets (life bird for 
me) flying back and forth at Twin Lakes.  I watched them for about 20 
minutes waiting for them to put down which they never did.  I left to see 
what else I could find there.  When I came back around 7:40, the willets 
were no where to be found.  The full species list follows.
