Brian Johnson and I conducted an International Shorebird Survey (ISS) at the Wastewater on Tues, Oct 5. The highlight was an immature White-rumped Sandpiper along the East Lagoon center dike shoreline.  Aerator #2, the second one counting from west, was drawn down and had attracted a small variety of shorebirds, though the north shore of the West Lagoon and the East Lagoon had scattered shorebirds as well.
