went through around 6-7pm, marsh trail at green gate,  was getting dark but
the marsh was alive with birds picking out birds from the grass.

glossy ibis  ~35
greater yellow legs ~75  (about 5 large flocks)
willet (~100 mostly in pairs)
snowy egret ~ 15

others, great egret, brant, common merganser, osprey, DCC
a few small peeps I couldn't ID too.

might post a few pics on FB CT later, but the photos are dark and Im sure
on the ID,
