Black-bellied Plover - 3 + 8 on the delta
Long-billed Dowitcher - 3 + 9 on the delta

Pectoral Sandpiper - 4
Barn Swallows - 100+

WWRdelta:
Great Egret - down to one but very windy today.

Mike saw a Turkey Vulture south of town over the Walla Walla river while
working.

Hood Park - hundreds of YR Warblers in the sheltered spots - not much else.

Greater White-fronted Geese - 250 in "V"s over Walla Walla early this am,
