... Think we saw a tri-colored (red & white on wing)
have to look at the video. We did see red & yellow on
wing and red only on wing (bi-colored).
... Well, they finally got a paved parking lot.
Not as much water as I would have thought, but there
was water in pond 13 and 2 snowy egrets.
As soon as we
got there the attendent came out said she hasn't been
birding long and asked what we thought a bird. It was
a Willet 'cause I asked the older couple that
informed us of the location of the Least Tern!
... State Checklists ...
