Lake Cochise

Yesterday I headed out to Lake Cochise looking for the TriColored Heron that had been reported there. When I arrived I found the area flooded, making it very difficult to get to the pond where the Heron was seen. However, it was not a total loss at all. There were several Great Blue Herons, Black Necked Stilts, Long Billed Dowitchers, Sanderlings, Killdeer, Wilson's Phalaropes, and other shorebirds in the flooded fields. Here are some of the photos I snapped:
