Hi all,
Again late. Had made daily trips to the flats this
past week and today (9/12) it is nearly gone but has 6
Great Blue Heron and 8 Great Egret. Also most
shorebirds # had drop since last full hour trip last
Thurs. We need some serious rain to regain the
reservoir back to life before winter arrives and
waterfowl too.
