Shoveller ducks >£L00, Black-crarmed night Heron ^ 20 , CaoOfhO, 
Black-necked Stilt >100. Shovellers here are resident cf, y, and in all 
plumages. Yellow-orange feet etc. Birds seem to ha to unusually large 
hodys. Herons common end appear to be healthy. Stilts are numerous 
and at least some are in molt as their heads and necks seem ’’ratty" and 
missihg feathers. Coots show little bright colors that are common mo 
breeding. 
A number of immature herons in mixed plumages were noted. I saw 
no adults with the long breeding plumes over the head. Tills race serns 
to be grayer and perhaps shorter-winged than the xrace in Michigan.
