I went out that way just a while ago and braved the rain. I saw everything Jim
listed below, except for the Cattle Egret, despite the bad light.
Two species were smaller than the Killdeer that I saw (Lesser (several) and
Spotted), one about the same size as the Killdeer (Solitary, there were a few of
those), and one larger than the Killdeer (Lesser Yellowlegs (a few)).
