The Ruddy Turnstone was seen at Migraine Lake again this morning, visible
from the Soda Lake dam 2 1/2 miles south of Potholes Reservoir in Grant
County. You may need to search lots of shoreline, but it flew from the
north shore and landed in a very visible spot. Phalaropes, yellowlegs,
stilts, spotted sp also. An American Bittern was in Marsh Unit 1, where
water drawdown is creating some good foraging habitat.
