May 1957 Report from Mr, Arlie K. McKay - Cove Area
TEF^i'rinity riooded its tidal marshes on April 28, except that
portion baek of the levies which was flooded two days later - thus
breaking up a mass concentration of water birds, waders, and shore birds.
My report for April does not represent all that concentration - only
the limited area that I could cover, which may have been as little as
10# or as much as 50$. The 22 Ruddy Decks on April 29, were 27 days
later than ever before. Of the 750-plus Stilt Sandpipers, 700 were in
one floek - more than in any other entire year.
The only good wave of migrants here was on May 5.
12 Water-turkeys on May 2, the only one's for 1957? Am.
