I did a quick drive around the Brady Loop and Wenzel Slough roads this evening looking for shorebirds. I found one single adult Black-bellied Plover at the south end of Foster Rd.. On the east side of Brady Loop there was a single Greater Yellowlegs working one of the remaining puddles. Whimbrel have been reported here, but I have yet to find one. Some of the fields have been plowed, but not the one the Whimbrel usually hang out in.

On the west end of Wenzel Slough Rd., I encountered six Black-bellied Plovers in one of the fields. Along Keys Rd. where you can walk to the edge of the Satsop River near a well field, there were two Greater Yellowlegs working the edge of the river. Also, down river there was a group of Common Mergansers laying on a gravel bar.
