I had to take my daughter to the dentist so I did a midday run of the same areas I covered Saturday. Boy what a difference.

The Homestead fields:
~10 Killdeer
1 Least Sandpiper
~20 Black-bellied Plovers

Cutler Wetlands:
2 Mottled Ducks
2 Moorhen
A lot of water

Sadowski:
2 Gnatcatchers

That rain late Saturday really did a great job of completely killing Cutler Wetlands. It was really looking good, and was beginning to get decent numbers of shorebirds.

If I didn't know it's migration I would never know it by the presence of birds. There are good years, and there are bad years. I guess this year sucks!
