As Paul O'Brien noted we saw few doves at the east pond this morning. Most of the doves leave the roost early to go to whatever feeding areas they have. An individual bird could be anywhere in the surrounding area during the day.
   Shorebirds today at the pond included 34 Killdeer, 8 Spotted Sandpipers, 2 Upland Sandpipers, 2 Least Sandpipers, and 1 Pectoral Sandpiper.
