We "discovered" lake San Luis (had never been there before) on the way to the Sand Dunes yesterday, after unsuccessfully searching for the Red Knot at Homelake (Rio Grande County); of note however was one Clark's Grebe with the Western Grebes.
San Luis Lake, Alamosa county:
125-150 Marbled Godwits
20+ Willets
18-20 Long-billed Dowitchers
500+ Wilson's Phalaropes
50+ Avocets
A single Greater Yellowlegs
One unidentified Peep (too far)
I don't know what the normal water level is at this lake but judging from the large amount of dried up shore and the water not reaching boat launches, it seemed very low.
Having grown up near water with huge tide levels, my first thought was: low tide, good for shore birds; DUH!!!
