On Thursday, a late Solitary Sandpiper was photographed at the Baker sewage pond. For those thinking of birding the east Mojave, note that all sides of the big pond have vegetative blockades, with access to the central trail limited to only the most determined (which doesn't currently include me). In addition, the gate to Zzyzx is locked due to the government shutdown. Further afield, the tree-trimmers in Shoshone finally got around to the salt cedars in the RV park/campground, rendering all of them unworthy of pishing in my view. I passed on visiting there this trip.
