Another MARBLED GODWIT today at the potato ponds (private, north of the Para Ponds) after my first county sighting in May. There were 12 shorebird species there including 6+ SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPERS and 5+ BAIRDS SANDPIPERS. These two species were also common at the County Line Ponds along SR 26, among 11 shorebird species including single SOLITARY SANDPIPER, RED-NECKED PHALAROPE and SEMIPALMATED PLOVER.

Yesterday the NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD was seen again at Corfu, this time near the Crab Creek crossing coming out of Russian-olive trees lining Corfu Road. Lower Crab Creek Road east of Corfu had at least 50 LARK SPARROWS in sagebrush right along the road.
