Coming up to the pits and seeing thousands of shorebirds, where last week  
there were hundreds, sure is a seasonal rush for me as they provide hours of  
ever enlightening viewing and study. Increases in Killdeer, Least and Pectoral  
Sandpipers made up the bulk of the masses but Semipalmated and Westerns were  
easy to find if you took the time. Scanning through the masses produced a 
molted  and mottled Sanderling, a nice addition to the season list which now 
stands at  11 species. The next month should produce many additions and a 
possible 
rarity  or two. 
 
Now is the time to get out on the river and see breeding plumaged  
Sanderling, something we don't get to see much here, but mid-July on the  
Mississippi 
River (also possibly the Tennessee) will produce a few hot treats.  
Good Birding  !!!
