Hi all,

This evening there was a pair of American Golden Plover hanging out
with the Killdeer on the hatchery ponds.  Outside of that, the only
other shorebirds I could find were a handful of Pectoral Sandpipers, a
single Least and a single Spotted Sandpiper.  It looks like shorebirds
are winding down already...

A second pleasant surprise was a Nelson's Sparrow that flushed out of
the weeds along one of the undrained ponds.  I managed to chase it up
a few more times, and clearly saw the ammodramus body shape, as well
as an orange buffy color on the face and flanks.


Good birding,
