Went chasing the goodies and BB this eve. The ALDER FLY made one
vocalization shortly after we arrived and then went silent. The
shorebirds were wonderful with the SEMI-PLOVERS (8), LEAST (14),
SOLITARY, SPOTTED and both LEGS very close and in great light.
	NIGHTHAWKS peented overhead. HOODED, KENTUCKY , OVENBIRD, SCARLET,
PRAIRIE were heard.
	The most exciting was an OLIVE SIDED FLYCATCHER on the MONTGOMERY side
(drat!). Perched at the top of a tall snag. Anyone that wants to chase
it, walk up the HOWARD side but NOT around the bend. The tree actually
disappears if you walk too far down (as we found out the hard way) BTW
we thought we had lost our minds or that the tree had fallen down as we
were walking towards it!!

p.s. If anyone does happen to see it on the HOWARD side I don't want to
know about it!
