I started at Wellington Res., and moved westward.
The area around Bellvue which was excellent for shorebirds in '08,
was pretty great for ducks and geese today. There is almost as much water
around there now as there was last summer. It may again be a great area for shorebirds
in the next couple of months if the water level stays the same.
