[mou] Yellow Headed Blackbirds/NE StLCo

[Karen Sussman]

Tonight (5:30-6:30pm) in the Embarrass Rice Paddies there were Yellow
Headed Blackbirds present at both the Waisanen Rd and Palo Tia Rd
entrances.  They were not there last evening when I checked at about the
same time.  The numbers were very low as compared to last year but it seems
they are just starting to arrive.

-Also lots of Sora calling

-Many Mallards on nests and with new hatches

-Bluewinged Teal

-Ring Neck Ducks

-N. Shoveler

-Snipe

Shorebirds have shifted to the Waisenan Rd side.  Water level has risen
after the rain.  Dikes are in good repair.
The shorebirds were too far away to identify.
