A check of the Anderson sod farm (Winnebago co) yielded 11 shorebird species.
All action was at the west end of the sod farm where there is scattered puddles
of water amongst the weeds/grass. This after the about 5 inches of rain in
this area earlier in the week. A scope is a must!! The closest shorebirds
were about half way out with the others in farther out. Fortunately the
Buff-breasteds were about half way out. Some of the shorebirds would suddenly
fly, with some returning and new ones appearing. The list included 1
Semipalmated Plover, 10 Killdeer, 1 Solitary Sandpiper, 2 Greater and 45 Lesser
Yellowlegs, 15 Baird's Sandpipers, 1 Least Sandpiper, 1 White-rumped Sandpiper,
2 Buff-breasted Sandpipers, 10 Pectoral and 5 Semipalmated Sandpipers.
The sod farm is located on Winnegamie Rd that goes west from Hwy 76 (with Cty
BB going east to Hwy 41). Outagamie county is on the north side of the road
with the sod farm mainly in Winnebago county. Good luck.
