Arrived at Swan Creek this morning at 7:15 am expecting to again not see an American Avocet. A single bird (like Dan Haas, I saw just one) apparently did not get the usual word to fly away before I arrived. Wohoo! Two years of dissapointment erased... Thanks to Ed Carolson for the post.
 
The other highlight was a beautiful PEREGRINE FALCON sitting on the mudflats just north of the south dredge cell, watching ... for breakfast. Great looks in the rising sun from the East...
 
Good Birding!
