I visited Swan Creek between 12:30 and 1:00 today and saw  one BLACK-NECKED 
STILT in the far right (SE) corner of the north cell.  There may have been 
more. I had missed it on several scans and wouldn't  have seen it except 
that it was moving. Part of that corner is obscured by  higher ground, which 
this bird disappeared behind moments after I saw it. The  distance is long and 
the heat shimmer was terrible, so the view was identifiable  if not very 
satisfying. Mid day is probably not the time to go.
 
Thanks again to Stan and Ed for putting in the time at Swan Creek, and  
especially for promptly getting the word out about these great finds!
