the trouble with June is of course that it stays light longer so after having been out for 13 hours there seemed no reason not to have a look at a few more potholes before dark -- a superb bit of wader habitat had several Killdeers and American Avocets plus Black-necked Stilt while Yellow-headed Blackbirds became numerous; several hirundines were present and a flock of Canvasbacks added to the diving duck tally -- dabbling ducks including American Wigeon were feeding on the adjacent fields and a nice Swainson's Hawk obliged on a telegraph pole -- a last stop off at another great looking lake produced good numbers of Black-necked Stilts, Red-necked as well as Wilson's Phalaropes, several pairs of displaying Black-necked Grebes yet more waterfowl and a couple of California Gulls ending a rather productive day
