Hazy and Hot, Windy - 02 Jun 2005
0800 Hrs. Hazy, hot, windy, 75ºF. I biked Pt. Mouillee to see if any Whimbrels were around (Tim Smart had 103 earlier in the week). Water levels were high, and no shorebirds were seen anywhere.
A pair of Dunlin were in the mud spit in Cell 3 along with a Least Sandpiper. Cell 5 held an immature Bonaparte's Gull that I was able to digiscope. Lots of Canada Geese w/ babies were around.
