Trey, Bill and I had a nice variety this morning birding from the Ag fields to the Annex. Things looked promising for warblers as we picked up 8 species quickly between Lucky Hammock and the Annex, and then the warblers disappeared. We made up for it with six Buff-breasted sandpipers. Five were on the east side of 217th Avenue just north of 9336, and another was on the west side. Here are the highlights.
