The Trips:
Went out early on thursday and friday, September 19 and 20, looking for the American Avocets seen on Smith Lake ... success on both days !!! ... not especially closein, but nice scope views ... looked for the Snowy Egret both days but we still didn't find it ... there was a Whimbrel way on the back shore of Smith Lake ... could see with a scope but that's about all.
