Many thanks to Randy Rowe for his post.  I mostly duplicated his sightings
yesterday

@ the Wilderness Rd drained ponds today.  I did manage to sight an AMERICAN
BITTERN

and saw a mink walking along the shoreline too.



I stopped at the Funk Bottoms Wildlife Area on the way home and walked the
very overgrown trail

past the Observation Tower.   There is a nice mud area on the north end of
one of

the ponds about 1000 yards or so back.  I saw several LEAST SANDPIPERS,
PECTORAL

SANDPIPERS, KILLDEER, 2 LESSER YELLOWLEGS, a SPOTTED SANDPIPER, and a GREEN
HERON in this area.

I also saw nice flock of BLUE-WINGED TEAL on the deep pond on the east side
of the trail.
