Brian Johnson and Carolyn Weng surveyed shorebirds at the Wastewater, Oct. 7. There was a good variety of species scattered along the lagoon shorelines and the two lowered-water-level concrete aeration ponds next to the West Lagoon: Black-bellied and American Golden Plover, Killdeer, Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, Spotted, White-rumped (2), Pectoral and Stilt Sandpipers plus Wilson Snipe.

Other species of interest included four Eared Grebe, two Horned Grebe in the East Lagoon, one Lesser Black-backed Gull along the West Lagoon, and two Eastern Screech-owls whinnying after sunset from the Clay Pond south of Apple Ave.
