==============


Shorebird #'s were low - not much else really.. The ducks are always fun here, and the Bufflehead were new... Lots of Meadowlarks here as well... 


More juv LESA than adults!


1 "Red" Saddlebags (female) was also a serious highlight for an ode-deprived me... I think it may have actually been a Red! Large clear spots inside the hindwing markings (half circles along the edge?) - I've always called those Red's - but I also remember reading something that says it may not be all that reliable? Anyone?
