[BILL ROSIE TICE]

Hi Folks,
After a meeting at work this morning,  I headed out to Baskett Slough NWR.  I really needed to get out, get some air and walking in.   Went to Morgan Lake (Dry) and found an adult RED-SHOULDERED HAWK at the dam.  I walked to the middle slough where there were a few dowitchers,  peeps, and a handful of Semi-palmated Plovers.   I drove around after that, ate lunch and ended up back at the refuge and walked the butte trail.  There was a nice flock of migrants that included: 2 TOWNSEND'S WARBLERS  (I don't recall any records on the refuge come to think of it.......)   3 BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLERS,  3 HUTTON'S VIREOS,  10-12 BLACK-CAPPED CHICKADEES,   2 WHITE BREASTED NUTHATCHES,  4 BROWN CREEPERS,  4 JUNCOS,  2 WESTERN WOOD PEWEES.   I parked at the narrows for an hour to kill some time afterwards where there were about 12 GREATER YELLOWLEGS,  3 SEMI-PALMATED PLOVERS,  2 KILLDEER, 1 SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER,  30+/- LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS,  2 SNIPE, AND ABOUT 45 WESTERN SANDPIPERS, AND 5 LEAST SANDPIPERS.   It was quite windy,  but still warm enough to be enjoyable.
