Tim Lenz and I birded around Montezuma most of today. Nothing too exciting, but lots of nice birds around. A molting juvenile HUDSONIAN GODWIT was feeding in the grass at the Visitor Center pool. The wildlife drive still had 7 BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS and lots of waterfowl on the main pool. The avocet was still at Puddlers, as well as lots of geese, four Dunlin, and some nice landbirds, including LINCOLN'S SPARROW and tons of kinglets. Mays Point had upwards of 10 LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS and the Snow x Canada hybrid, but we were unable to find a white-fronted Goose anywhere on the complex.
On our way down the lake, we stopped at Dean's Cove, where the only bird of note was an adult LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL.
