I waded around the edges of the lake at Midway Beach today (5/12/13), from
6:30 to 8:30 AM, and found many interesting birds, in addition to three
Black-necked Stilts reported earlier on eBird and Tweeters. Among them
were:

Am. Bittern /1/ (calling frequently)
Mallard /10/
Cinnamon Teal /3/
N. Shoveler /7/
Virginia Rail /2/
