    Such a great list of birds and I REALLY love the photo with the avocets, waterfowl and sandpipers! Great trip and I always love seeing the birds in your area!

    Thanks, Tom! Wish I got a better view of the peeps, as whatever they were, it was a year bird, but I just had my 300mm lens w/me, and that wasn’t nearly close enough to definitively ID them. By the odds, they were probably Western Sandpipers, but that’s no way to go about bird identification.
