This evening 5:00 - 7:00  - Two neighbors joined me for a quick trip to EABL. 
 At  Pool 10 and second loop observed:  1  Lesser Yellowlegs, approx  50 Pectoral Sandpipers.  The usual ducks:  GWTE, BWTE, NOSH, COOT,MALL,
LESC plus Cormorants, Tree Swallow, RWSW.  
    Tim stopped to say he had just witnessed an eaglet being fed.  With a scope we were able to observe the downy head, plus a second joined the first slightly showing their heads above the nest, standing very close to mother.  Hope that others can confirm this.
      Drove the first loop on return.  There were 6 Wilson Snipe on right side  feeding among green strip in the water about half way down -,about 6:50pm.
First of the season for me.
