Nine members of JAS visited Pt. Moo SGA on Tuesday to search for shorebirds. Ross Green scouted the week before and expectations were low. We did get a few notables including 3 American White Pelicans, a bunch of Black Crowned Night Herons, and a King Rail. We found better mud outside the Game Area. And then lots of mud driving out to the antennae farm.
Thanks again to Ross for leading the trip.
