Shorebirds were concentrated at the south end of the lake and best viewed
from the "disc golf overlook". Water is too shallow for the phalarope to
do its swimming in circles thing; but, interestingly, it was snatching
insects in mid-air and also off the nearby barren fallen branches while standing
belly-deep in the water. North end of lake completely dry with lots of
killdeer. There also appears to be a "new" eagle with none of the white tail
or head feathers that the other two eagles have shown.
