Red-winged Blackbirds, Killdeer at Wastewater

Biding my time between some classes I was visiting at Oakridge today, I spun out to the Wastewater hoping again for the shrike, but again striking out.  Ken Sapkowski told me it was there Saturday after I left.  Par for the  course.  I did record my first-of-the-year Red-winged Blackbirds and Killdeer.
