After birding with Tommie I finished the auto-tour loop and added a male cinnamon teal, which was in the Pelican pool close to where it turns into a marsh. The bird was among blue-winged teals. Another couple of birds that I added were: herring gull and a solitary sandpiper (snow goose pool). I think Tommie did not mention a single dunlin that we observed in the Mallard marsh. Other shorebirds included Wilson's phalaropes, pectoral, least and Baird's sandpipers, both yellowlegs and long-billed dowitchers; plus what Tommie reported earlier. The black-necked stilt (SW corner of Mallard marsh) was a beauty. I will send Patrick some pics to post on mobirds.
