Muhlenberg Co. Directions on the KOS website at:

Semipalmated Sandpiper 1
Greater Yellowlegs 4

Spotted Sandpipers 3
Pectoral Sandpipers 4
Short-billed Dowitchers 4 (These were on the upper pond. While walking back to 
my car I heard the yellowlegs call. I looked up to find 2 of the yellowlegs and 
the dowitchers had gotten up, began climbing higher and flew off to the south.)
Ring-billed Gull 1
Caspian Tern 1 adult
Common Tern 2 adults

The big basin across from the S5 road had only Killdeer, 1 least and a Spotted 
Sandpiper on it.
