Most of the shorebird diversity is way out on the Main Pool, continuing to follow the shrinking wet spot. Of course rain could change that. Birds flushed at one point and there was another group out of sight even farther back. One phalarope I thought was Wilson's was seen, maybe a female, but it was far out and I entered in eBird as phalarope species. Thruway ponds are getting birds. Water level at Knox-Marsellus has improved and there's good shorebird habitat but few shorebirds. Lots of other goodies to look at. I was never able to catch up with the Bonaparte's Gull that has been seen recently.
