Dale Swant and I were at the sod farm, Hickerson Rd, Coffee Co. from about
9-10:30AM. today. Dale had been there yesterday, also.
4 Buff-breasted Sandpipers
3 Pectorals
1Black-bellied Plover
25-30 Meadowlarks
an abundance of Horned Larks
an abundance of swallows,mostly Trees, but also some Barn, Cliff, and 2 Banks .
The shorebirds were in the area before the left curve as before, BUT on the
right side . If you are coming in via Asbury Rd. There is a sodded field, then
a removed sod section, then another sodded field; and the sandpipers were
feeding along the edges of the removed sod area and the sodded field behind or
moving back and forth between the green and the dirt sections.
I wonder-- if all the sod farm areas could be covered, what numbers would be
found---I guess random sample does anot apply here.
