Hello again,
                I checked my ponds again last night after work.  I had 10 Greater Yellows, 6 Lessers, 10 Solitaries (new property high count), 1 Spotted and 5 Leasts (FOS).  The Solitaries certainly arrived in force.  I went to check the neighbor's field (only visible from my side now, too dry to see from Kinder Rd) and found 3 Mallard, a GBH and a Little Blue Heron in the puddle.  I only wish I had not charged around the corner so fast and immediately scared away the LBH.  2nd LBH record here, the first one in 2000.  Returning to my pond, a male Harrier cruised over and shuffled the deck.  Re-checking the shorebirds, I heard a distant rattle and thought Kingfisher, but I could not locate it.  A minute later, it found me.  The FOS Kingfish is #105 for the year.  It was a very productive half hour of birding.

Good birding,
Glen Lovelace III
