["Scott & Glenda Record" <sgrecord@xxxxxxxx>]

Found 2 Upland Sandpipers in McCracken county today on my way to Ballard.   The 
recent rains and rising rivers have apparently scattered shorebirds away from 
their previously favored spots on BWMA.  The following were observed on BWMA:
Semi Plover  4
Killdeer  2
G. Yellowlegs  7
L. Yellowlegs  4
Solitary Sp.  5
Spotted Sp.  6
Least Sp.  12
G. Egret  8
Snowy Egret  1
Bald Eagle  1

Additionally a large group (75 to 125) pipits were observed flying high over 
private property near the refuge as were a small group a shorebirds that were 
most likely Pectoral Sandpipers.  Also had 1 Osprey about a mile from the 
refuge in a tree overlooking a large pond.  The Baird's sandpiper that was seen 
on the 22nd was not relocated.
