There are only shorebirds there when it has been rainy, and I think that since I moved to Texas, no one has kept good track of it. You can also find Upland Sandpipers there and we also have had White-rumped a nd Buff-breasted. The weedy field on the other side has had Bob-o-Links and Grasshopper Sparrows. Originally saw Glossy Ibis there too. Not much go ing on down here in the way of birding, all my Drying Bed Ponds are really dr ied up! Very few warblers coming through--Had a Kentucky Warbler yesterday, a real rarity here. Getting mostly Yellow and Nashville and a few Mourning Warblers, but this is area is not noted for an abundance of warblers--Getting Wilson's and Northern Waterthrush, and Black-and-White' s also.
