I spent a couple hours walking the loop west and south of the tower in the
Fisher Butte Unit late this afternoon.  I found the AMERICAN GOLDEN PLOVER
about 300 yards south of the tower with a small flock of Black-bellied
Plover.  Two juvenile RUFFS were near the south dike about 150 yards west of
the main (tower) dike.  The SHARP-TAILED SANDPIPER was just east of the west
dike about 100 yards north of the south dike.  I also flushed a female
LAPLAND LONGSPUR along the west dike.  A handful of WHITE-FRONTED GEESE were
along the west dike as well.  Shorebirds included:

 

30 Black-bellied Plover

  1 American Golden Plover

  2 Semipalmated Plover

  8 Killdeer

  6 Greater Yellowlegs

  2 Lesser Yellowlegs

50 Western Sandpiper

10 Least Sandpiper

  6 Pectoral Sandpiper

  1 Sharp-tailed Sandpiper

20 Dunlin

  2 Ruff

250 Long-billed Dowitcher

  1 Wilson's Snipe
