Hello,
   I stopped by Lake Artemesia yesterday (4/18) to look for the 
cliff swallow that was reported on Tuesday. No luck on the
swallow, but I did see my first Spotted Sandpiper of the year.
I also missed the Savannah sparrows I had been seeing the
previous several days.

Highlights:
Common loon - 2
Double-crested cormorant 
Osprey
accipter sp.
Spotted sandpiper - 1
Barn swallow
Tree swallow
Northern rough-winged swallow
Field sparrow (singing)
