Did a quick loop along the Marsh Discovery Trail at lunch. Lots of Spring arrivals, most notably Tree Swallows everywhere. Also heard Greater Yellowlegs and Killdeer, and saw a Great Egret.
Many varieties of ducks still here, though did not see the Canvasbacks (low tide).
Hope you can make the walk at 10 a.m. Tuesday at DeKorte.
Full list follows.
