Some of the 32 species I saw today as I was driving around this morning. It was a beautiful day after the rain storm yesterday and it seemed the birds were out enjoying the cool spring morning under the bright sun.
Some of the visitors just use the large wetlands as a stopping point before continuing on their journey. Others make their way here and then stop for the rest of the year. I like seeing birds that I don't get to see often.
A fun note about this little Least Sandpiper (first picture). I saw them and carefully approached, but a Killdeer alerted everyone and all the birds took off. Decided to just stand still and see who returned. Eventually, about 20 of these little birds came back and landed within 10 feet of where I was standing. I took SO MANY pictures.
