Hello All,
                The first shorebirds of the spring puddle season arrived yesterday 3/16.  4 Greater Yellowlegs and 3 Pectoral Sandpipers found on Oak Grove Rd.  The yellowlegs were expected about now, but the Pecs are well in advance of my local early date (4/2) and a good find for the year.  These birds bring my year-to-date total for Oak Grove to 76, which ties my end of March best.   And I am still waiting on Tree Swallow and Laughing Gull.
                Also, I saw my FOS Osprey on 3/14, another local early date.

Good birding,
Glen Lovelace III
