Hi Folks,

Ed Carlson and I did a routine survey at the Swan Creek/Cox Creek property
in northern AA County last evening.  To join the Red-necked Grebe at Fort
Armistead (nice find, Jon!) we had a breeding plumaged HORNED GREBE just off
the beach behind the Swan Creek mitigated wetland.  The two BLACK-NECKED
STILTs continue in the north dredge cell, and one of them spent the entire
hour viewing time sitting on the dividing dike within the cell.  Sure looks
like its sitting on a nest.

The usual seven species of wader were also seen, either in the wetlands or
over the river:  Great Blue Heron, Great Egret, Snowy Egret, Little Blue
Heron, Cattle Egret, Black-crowned Night Heron, and Glossy Ibis.
