I’ve been visiting CBEC daily for a week or so. The low water has attracted hundreds of waterfowl and provided lots of photo opportunities. The water is so low that the resident carp are dying. I’ve never seen the lake water level so low.

The Tricolored Herons are continuing, along with Terns, Sandpipers and Ospreys. It’s been too hot to stay a long time, but it’s working out.

The Avocets have been seen several times, but I was lucky to get any look at all. They flew in, circled a few times and left.

All the mud you see is usually covered.

I mean, we had a lot of Egrets

I’ve see 100 or more Snowy Egrets at CBEC most days this week.

This Great Egret has found an eel.

A quick stop at my neighbor’s feeder.

We’ve been seeing 20,or more Tricolored Herons each day.

Several Laughing Gulls have been visiting.

6-8 Greater Yellowlegs are visiting.

There’s often a few Killdeer in the mud flats.

Several Ospreys are still in the area.

12 American Avocets flew in for a brief visit.
