A number of shorebirds had dropped in at the Fishing Creek Rec. Area today; some were dropping in while I was there. 2 Black-bellied Plovers in breeding plumage were really nice to see. They could be seen from the hill at Pulaski County Park, but I had to walk down from the Rec. Area to ID the smaller shorebirds. Roseanna Denton Science Hill, Pulaski Co.
