I did a shorebird survey late Sunday afternoon. Numbers were considerably down on the previous weekend's count except for Phalaropes. There was a flock of 32 juvenile Red-necked Phalaropes in the East Lagoon with a few individuals feeding close in to shore. The only other species observed were 6 Baird's Sandpipers, 2 Spotted Sandpipers, and 6 Killdeer.
Other species of interest were 3 Eared Grebes in the East Lagoon, a Great Egret fishing successfully at the Clay Pond south of Apple and a couple of Cliff Swallows among the thousands of Tree Swallows working the lagoons.
