[woodpecker97330 at yahoo.com]

One RED KNOT and 2 WHIMBREL were still hanging out south of Bruce Rd., across from the wet scrape that is just west of the overlook mound, all of which are west of Muddy Creek. Mary Garrard, Pam Otley, Mark Nikas, and myself were there (between us) from about 6:30 until 7:45 p.m.--with nary a drop of rain and some pleasant evening sun.
 
Also noted in the area (as reported previously) were:
-Black-bellied Plover - 2
-Dunlin in breeding plumage - 20+
-Black-necked Stilt - 2
-Yellow-head Blackbird - at least one singing
-Greater Yellowlegs & Least Sandpiper

Thanks to Doug Robinson and Rich Armstrong for finding & getting the word out on these birds!
