I got a call from Charlie Muise reporting 7 Pectoral sandpiper at Heritage High School. I went out at 2:30 and found them in the grass between the Middle school and High school parking lots. I then spent time in Maryville College Woods and then on to Phelp's Dairy Farm pond, the stilt pond and Scenic Point. I got 4 new year birds - Pectoral sandpipers, Greater Yellowlegs at the stilt pond (along with 30 Blue-winged teal, 6 Shovelers, 2 widgeon, 2 Wood ducks, 1 Black duck and some Mallards), a gorgeous male Ruddy duck at Phelps pond and Barn swallows everywhere. Birding between 2:30 and 5:15 I got 52 species.
