Sorry for not posting earlier and warn those who are going to be  
careful in the large blind (the one on the beach side).

I was at CBEC yesterday morning and saw the already reported White  
Pelican, the 2 American Avocets, 35 Egrets (5 or 6 Great, all others  
Snowy), 2 Tricolored Herons, many Yellowlegs sp., Killdeer, Semi- 
palmated Plovers, Least and Semi-Palmated Sandpipers, a few Least  
Terns, 2 Bald Eagles, and many Ospreys.

As I was photographing from the blind, my friend Jennifer Kawar  
suddenly screamed and ran out, followed by a few hornets. She had been  
stung in 3 places and I can testify that it's painful because I was  
next in line. No problem in the second blind from which we had close  
views of a Tricolored Heron and several egrets. Beautiful place and  
great birds.

For anyone interested, later today I will finish uploading photos from  
CBEC, and from recent visits to North Beach and Hughes Hollow:

Good birding,
