Quivira

Tiff and I went to Quivira today for a couple of hours to check out if any Whooping Cranes were still hanging around.  I was also intrigued by the report of 100 Whimbrels, some Cinnamon Teals, and Marbled Godwits.  To make the story short, we scored on 3 of the 4.  We found 2 male Cinnamon Teal (137), 5 Marbled Godwits (138), and my keen-eyed wife spotted 2 adult Whooping Cranes (139) north of 170th St: incredible birds!
We also got the following year birds:
Scissor-tailed Flycatcher (134)
American Avocet (135)
Black-necked Stilt (136)
Snowy Plover (140)
Lesser Yellowlegs (141)
Forster's Tern (142)
Long-billed Dowitcher (143)
Forster's Tern (144)
