A quick stop at the southwest corner of Prewitt reservoir today provided a few birds:2, Eastern Bluebird, 4 Dark-eyed Junco[" Pink-sided"] , 1, Hermit Thrush*1, American Golden-Plover [the typical markings: top, buffy colored, petite small bill compared to larger junkier bill of Black-bellied Plover], slim slender over all look, compared to larger, rotound , plumper look of Black-belled Plover. Overall a daintier look than that of Black-bellied Plover. Wide light supercilium. This Plover was with Baird's sandpipers on the mud flats. 3, Lesser Yellowlegs on the flats also.At least 50-60 Killdeer, maybe more.A flock of about 28 small peeps flew in the distance, but I could not tell what they were, nor did I hear them call Hunters were stationary, and not flying around in flocks. Before I left the sahara dust storm conditions, of sand, blasting my scope and face, I checked the boat launch area. AT least 1000 Western Grebes were spread out in the north section of the lake. Because the water was so choppy, I can not say if Clark's were out there bouncing around, but most likely. I was amazed at the numbers of Western Grebes.Many, many American Robins, and American White Pelicans were present. I did not see the Lesser Black-backed Gull, but it sure could have been there, bobbing around somewhere, amongst all the other Gulls.
