A number of them I should've had months ago, but I'm taking it easy this year.At Piute Ponds (Edwards AFB):217. Black-bellied Plover218. Semipalmated Plover219. Dunlin220. Western Sandpiper221. Wilson's Phalarope222. Franklin's Gull223. Burrowing Owl224. Le Conte's Thrasher225. Yellow-headed BlackbirdAt Lancaster Sewage Ponds:226. White-winged Scoter (rare both inland and this far south; also, a new bird for my LA County list!)At Apollo Park:227. Greater White-fronted Goose228. Ross's Goose229. Cassin's VireoDespite this significant haul, I still missed out on some birds seen by other birders on the trip (Greater Roadrunner, Blue Grosbeak), or saw some things that couldn't be readily identified to species (namely, Dusky/Hammond's/Gray Flycatchers). But again, I'm taking it easy this year, and I hope to get these species at a later date.</blockquote>
