Avocet, Pte. Mouillee, Monroe Co.

[LaRue Wells]

In a rather brief visit today (May 8) to Pte. Mouillee, I walked the  
Mouillee Creek (middle) dike out to the extreme western corner of the  
Vermet unit, in hopes of seeing the Willets reported out there  
yesterday.  However, they were not there today, at least in very  
early afternoon.  But on the way out I did see an Avocet.  It was  
feeding in the southwestern end of Long Pond (clearly visible from  
the middle dike), about midway between the dike that separates Long  
Pond and Bloody Run and the dike between Long Pond and the Vermet  
Unit.  I saw nothing else particularly noteworthy.
