This morning I drove out to Marl Bed Flats this morning. I was hoping to see a Long-billed Dowitcher that was reported here a few days ago.  I didn't find him, but I did find a lot of other birds.  I was surprised to see about 100 Bobolinks.  These are the first I've ever seen, so I was pretty amazed to see so many.

I also saw many other birds there.  American White Pelicans and a Red-winged Blackbird on posed nicely for photos.

These pretty flowers were also blooming, which a friend identified as Sensitive Briar. They're so pretty I might have to return with my macro lens.

  1. I saw several hundred of these at Circle B Thursday (also my first time seeing any). They were so loud! They would not let me get too close for pictures either, so these are some great shots.
