Five of us birded the Camp Mines in Union County yesterday. Water had come up
substantially in most of the ponds,but still had 14 spp of shorebirds
highlighted by a Marbled Godwit ... yet another good bird that Tom Becker
happened to "stumble upon" while the rest of us scanned oblivious to it. Other
highlights were at least 28 American Golden-Plovers (maybe twice that), 11
Buff-breasted Sandpipers, 8 Short-billed Dowitchers, 2 Western Sandpipers, and
a Sanderling. The four Sandhill Cranes mentioned by Charlie in earlier post
must certainly be the ones reported off and on during July and early August
over in Webster County by Alan Gehret and others. Blue-winged Teal were on the
move with at least 940 tallied between three sites.
