Went over to Big Island yesterday to get a stray Black Tern...found it
eventually, along with 4 Sandhill Cranes...one with a ID tag that was too
dirty to read :-( . Oh well.
The middle containment pond on LaRue-Prospect has been drawn down exposing
plenty of shallow water.  Killdeer were everywhere,  and expected Spotted
Sandpipers were scattered throughout the middle pond.  But what was not
expected were two Dunlin and two Least Sandpipers.

Other than that...pretty typical day.

Happy birding and God bless!
