I had the stilts at 2:20 and they were still there at 3:30 when Kevin Graff showed up. They were seen in the north cell on the thin strip of land that bisects the cell, but at the thickest part of the strip. I also had a single Common Moorhen in the wetland 50 yards past the observation platform on right side of road, about 30 yards out in the water from the road. Bird seen clearly as it stood on vegetation. Red forehead shield and yellow bill tip, white streaking on sides (more extensive on left side of this bird), and white outer tail feathers with dark central tail feathers all clearly visible. No pics though - didn't have camera unfortunately.
