Debbie Terry and I checked a few spots at Liberty Reservoir for
shorebirds this morning.  Here's what we found.

MURRAY RD.

semi-plover  1
killdeer   20+
least sand  4
semi sand   9
spotted     5
solitary    1
pectoral    3

RT. 32 BRIDGE

killdeer    6
semi sand   30+
least       8
solitary    4
spotted     1

Also, 2 great egrets at Rt. 32.

CONDITIONS:  Very dry at Murray Rd.  This spot may be entirely dry
within 10 days.

The Rt. 32 spot has several different pools, some very shallow, one
quite deep.  There will probably be shorebird habitat here for a while.
