We were hoping to see a few shorebirds at Evangeline to show to a new 
birder friend, and almost left before several small flocks of S.P. 
Sandpipers and S.P. Plovers appeared totaling somewhere around 200 
birds.  Fortunately they landed right in front of us, so we had good 
views before a Peregrine Falcon came swooping across very low to the 
ground, grabbing a S.P. Plover and continuing on his way without a 
pause.  He made several passes while we watched the peeps.

At Miners' Marsh we found 5 Pied-billed Grebes, a Belted Kingfisher, and 
lots of Red-winged Blackbirds.  A Bald Eagle passed overhead.

At the salt marshes between the Avon R. and Windsor we saw a Gt. Bl. Heron.
