I apologize for the late post but after seeing all the posts about the willets at Hoover today, this news seems to have lost its luster. Around 6:15 this morning, I saw a flock of about 30 willets (life bird for me) flying back and forth at Twin Lakes. I watched them for about 20 minutes waiting for them to put down which they never did. I left to see what else I could find there. When I came back around 7:40, the willets were no where to be found.
