I stopped by Lake Manawa today to see what was new. The water level is down at the lake especially compared to last year. I am certain the river level has a lot to do with that. There is a lot more muddy shoreline and today there were some interesting birds. American Avocets - 3 Solitary Sandpipers Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs Long billed Dowitchers Forester's Terns There were more shorebirds but kite flyers spooked them before I could get a good look. There are still a lot of coots and ducks that were moving around avoiding boats. It has certainly been an interesting spring for the lake.
