AIC & Garr Ranch

Hi,

I went chasing the BB Plovers reported by Kris, but not this time again. I wonder if I will get to see one this year?

Not a bad trip however,

     Along the causeway,
                   Snowy Plovers at the first puddle on the south (8:00 AM)
                    Short-eared Owl around mile post 4  (10:00 AM)
                     Burrowing Owl on some cement also around mile 4 (10:00 AM)
   
      Garr Ranch,  (11:00 AM to 3:30 AM)
                     Northern Waterthrush

                     Red-breasted Nuthatch                  
                     Hermit Thrush

     Garr Ranch was active despite a noisy family reunion.
