Once again I drove too far and didn’t see much. It didn’t help that Bear Swamp Pool was closed for construction shortly after I arrived.

The bird with the biggest numbers was the Least Sandpiper, and even they weren’t as numerous as in the past.

I saw more eagles than usual, and a few ducks, but migration has slowed for the moment. Several Foxes were around but the low light prevented good images.

Red Winged Blackbirds are far less numerous.

Northern Shovelers are still present.

Some male Green Winged Teals have finally shown up.

Another Savannah Sparrow.

Swamp Sparrows were well represented.

Northern Pintails were foraging in the marsh.

I found only one small flock of American Avocets.
